Wife reveals horror of waking up to being raped by stranger – while husband watched and filmed her

A British wife has bravely told of the horrifying 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 which bears a striking resemblance to that of Dominique Pelicot, the 71-year-old French mother who was repeatedly raped by men brought in by her husband while she was unconscious.

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

She first realized what her husband had done when she woke up naked and was raped after her husband suggested they have a drink together at 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 would need to watch what he was doing with my drink. I don’t remember finishing it,” Bishop told ITV News.

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

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

“And I remember the first thing I thought was, ‘I’m going to be strangled and murdered.’ But I started to get back on the bed very quickly and the man got up and ran away,” 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, one 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 then secretly recorded her husband in prison, when he told her she had been raped by “seven men in total”, she recalled.

“The last one happened twice. So it was eight separate occasions, with seven different men,” she said – with an unknown number of other people watching it online.

However, these foreigners have not yet been brought to justice, Laura said of why she came forward.

“The most important thing is to denounce (these) men and put names to the faces… This is an opportunity for me to make my voice heard,” she said. “I want justice…That’s what I think I deserve.”

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

“A man has been sentenced to a long prison term for the crimes he committed against her, but a thorough investigation continues, led by specially trained detectives.”
