James Owen, 55, and Ellen Rae, 52, plied the woman with drinks at their Salisbury home before Owen raped her and Rae sexually assaulted her in their hot tub.

Prosecutors said the February 2021 attack followed weeks of planning by the couple, whose texts revealed “vile discussions about sexual assaults committed against the victim prior to the rape, and their plans for further abuse”.

Owen was jailed for eight years on Friday after being found guilty of rape, two counts of sexual assault and conspiracy to commit sexual assault.

Rae was jailed for two years after being found guilty of sexual assault and conspiracy to commit sexual assault.

During a nine-day trial at Winchester Crown Court, it was heard how Owen first assaulted the woman by groping her during training sessions at his home between January and February 2021.

He claimed his touching of her was necessary as part of specific exercises.
