Reporting restrictions have been lifted, revealing the identities of 13 men, including a paramedic and a football coach, who are co-defendants in a case against a Stockport man accused of drugging and raping his wife.

Stockport manager Dave Challinor is recognized for his exceptional record in achieving promotion or playoff spots, having done so in all but one of his 16 seasons across four clubs.

A man has been charged with repeatedly raping his unconscious wife with other men over several years. The defendants cannot be named for legal reasons at this stage.
