Wife reveals horror of waking to being raped by stranger — as husband watched and filmed

A UK wife has bravely come forward to detail the horrific moments she realized her husband was drugging her to be raped by strangers.

Laura Bishop revealed her identity for the first time in an interview with ITV News about her horrific case that is hauntingly similar to that of Dominique Pelicot, the 71-year-old French mom who was repeatedly raped by men her husband brought over while she was unconscious.

Laura Bishop’s monstrous husband, Daniel Bishop, even livestreamed her being raped at least eight times by seven different men, she said while decrying the lack of police action against them all.

She first realized what her husband had been doing when she woke up naked and being raped after her husband suggested they have a drink together in their home in Bristol, England, in 2021.

“He poured me a gin and tonic. I couldn’t see what he was doing. I never thought I’d need to watch what he did with my drink. I don’t remember finishing it,” Bishop told ITV News.

“I woke up on the bed. Completely undressed. Naked. And being raped by a stranger,” she said.

“I immediately looked to the right, and Dan was stood there; my husband was stood there in the doorway,” she continued.

“And I can remember the first thing I thought was, ‘I’m going to be strangled and murdered.’ But I started moving myself very quickly back up the bed and the man got up and ran off,” she said.

Bishop reported the incident to police, who arrested her husband.

Daniel Bishop later pleaded guilty in 2022 to three rapes, three attempted rapes, a sexual assault and administering a noxious substance, ITV noted.

He was sentenced to more than 14 years in prison plus an additional eight years of supervised release.

Laura later secretly recorded her husband in prison, when he told her she was raped by “seven men in total,” she recalled.

“The last one came twice. So it was eight separate occasions, with seven different men,” she said — with an unknown number of others watching it online.

However, those strangers have yet to be brought to justice, Laura said of her reason to come forward.

“The most important thing is outing [these] men and putting names to faces… This is my opportunity for my voice to be heard,” she said. “I want justice… That’s what I feel I deserve.” 

Avon and Somerset Police told ITV News in a statement that it was “sorry Laura feels let down by aspects of the overall investigation.”

 ”One man has received a significant prison sentence for the crimes he committed against her, but a thorough investigation continues, led by specially-trained detectives.”
