A 49-year-old man is scheduled to appear in court this week, marking a pivotal moment in a deeply unsettling case that has unfolded over more than a decade. The charges stem from alleged offenses spanning thirteen years, beginning in 2010, and represent a significant development in a complex investigation.
The investigation has led to charges against six men in total. Norman Macksoni, 47, faces accusations of rape and possessing extreme images. Dean Hamilton, also 47, is charged with rape, sexual assault by penetration, and two counts of sexual touching.
Conner Sanderson Doyle, 31, stands accused of sexual assault by penetration and sexual touching. Richard Wilkins, 61, faces a charge of rape alongside sexual touching. Mohammed Hassan, 37, is charged with sexual touching.
In a remarkable act of courage, the victim, identified as Joanne, has chosen to waive her right to anonymity. This decision, made after careful consideration and with the support of specialized officers, allows her story to be heard and shines a light on the alleged crimes.
Detectives have described the investigation as extensive and intricate, requiring meticulous work to bring these charges forward. Prosecutors confirmed sufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal proceedings, emphasizing the public interest in seeking justice.
The Crown Prosecution Service has been working in close collaboration with Wiltshire Police throughout the investigation, ensuring a thorough and coordinated approach to building the case. The focus remains on supporting Joanne and pursuing a just outcome.
