Overview
- Young changed his plea on Friday via video link from HMP Winchester to eight counts covering indecent child images and extreme pornography.
- Judge Paul Dugdale said the new pleas mean Young has admitted all 56 charges and will not face a trial.
- Earlier pleas in January covered 11 rapes, 11 instances of administering a substance, 14 voyeurism counts, and more than 500 postings of his ex-wife’s intimate images between 2010 and 2024.
- The court heard the child-abuse images totalled about 230, and reports name the victim as Joanne Young after she waived her right to anonymity.
- Related prosecutions continue for five other men, with four defendants set for trial on 5 October and one already having admitted multiple sexual offences.
