A WOMAN whose husband drugged and raped her while livestreaming the horror has bravely waived her right to anonymity.
Laura Bishop hopes revealing her identity and going public will help catch other men her partner invited to her while she was unconscious.
Laura was sickeningly targeted by her husband, Daniel Bishop, 48, in their family home when she was most vulnerable.
During his trial in 2022, Bristol Crown Court heard the fiend had plied Laura with sedatives after slipping them into her drink.
He raped his wife and livestreamed the horror online – and had also arranged for another man to abuse her.
Laura has since described waking up naked in her bed as she was being raped.
“I immediately looked to the right and Dan was stood there. My husband was stood there in the doorway,” she said.
Bishop was jailed for 14 years and eight months after admitting rape and administering a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence.
The court was told Bishop had invited more men to rape his wife, but they declined his offer.
However, while her ex-husband rotted in jail, Laura secretly recorded telephone conversations with him in the search for answers.
And it was during these calls that she claims Bishop admitted to further heinous crimes.
Laura says her former partner confessed to inviting seven men into their home to abuse her, recruiting them from websites.
She believes he drugged her by pouring powdered prescription medication into her gin and tonic to knock her out.
In one recording, heard by ITV News , Bishop tells her: “It was seven men in total.
“The last one came twice. So it was eight separate occasions, with seven different men.”
Laura believes the missed opportunities to find evidence – such as forensic analysis of her bedding – and identify any other attackers.
She told News: “I want justice, from the evidence that was available that night …
“I am convinced, because [her husband] would go missing at night, that these men potentially have wives, that they are sat with right now, who are being abused …
“These mistakes by the police have left other women in danger as well.”
Laura is now more determined than ever to catch the perpetrators who abused her – amid fears they could target other women.
Her ordeal resembles ‘s, a French woman whose husband drugged and raped her and invited dozens of other men to assault her while she was unconscious.
The case attracted worldwide media attention, with many praising Gisèle for her bravery and decision to speak openly about the unimaginable horror.
A spokesman for the force said that it was sorry that Laura felt “let down by aspects of the overall investigation”.
It added: “We remain committed to doing everything we can to identify any other perpetrators who carried out offences against her and ensure we bring them to justice.”
