German court jails man for drugging, raping and filming wife for years
A German court sentences a man, identified as Fernando P, to 8.5 years in prison for drugging, raping, and filming his wife over several years, with the footage shared online. The perpetrator, originally from Spain, was convicted of aggravated rape, grievous bodily harm, and privacy violations. The court trial, largely conducted in secrecy to protect the victim's identity, allowed the wife to share her feelings and testimony. The verdict, although subject to appeal, aims to provide some closure for the victim.
