A former Tory councillor who drugged and raped his wife has pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children.
Philip Young, 49, previously admitted 48 offences relating to Joanne Young, who has waived her legal right to anonymity, over more than a decade between 2010 and 2024.
The charges include multiple counts of voyeurism, sexual assault, rape and administering a substance with intent to stupefy Ms Young, 48, "to enable himself or another to engage in sexual activity with her".
Young, who served as a Conservative Swindon borough councillor, in Wiltshire, between 2007 and 2010, previously denied eight other charges.
But he appeared at Winchester Crown Court on Friday by video-link to change his pleas to guilty.
The charges include three counts of making indecent images of children, one count of possessing prohibited images of children and four counts of possessing extreme pornography.
Judge Paul Dugdale said his pleas to a total of 56 charges mean he will not stand trial.
The charges also include 14 counts of voyeurism, 11 of rape, 11 of administering a substance with intent, seven of assault by penetration, four of sexual assault and one of publishing obscene articles.
Five other men have previously appeared in court charged with sexual offences against Mrs Young.
Dean Hamilton, 47, in February admitted one charge of assault by penetration, two of sexual assault and one of rape.
Four other men have denied charges and face trial in front of a High Court judge in October.
Norman Macksoni, 48, of Wood End Close in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, has denied one count of rape and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image.
Richard Wilkins, 61, of Toothill, Swindon, Wiltshire, has denied one count of rape and one of assault by penetration.
Connor Sanderson-Doyle, 31, of Crofton Road, Swindon, has denied sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault.
Mohammed Hassan, 37, of Torun Way in Swindon, has denied sexual touching.
