Date Rape Information
The Statistics
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, "Date
Rape", is one of the fastest growing drug-facilitated,
sexual assault crimes in America today. In most cases,
this is how it happens: Illicit drugs are unobtrusively
slipped into beverages of unsuspecting victims at dance
parties, bars or nightclubs. These substances are colorless,
tasteless and odorless so the victim has absolutely
no way of knowing that the drink he or she is about
to consume will cause severe impairment and leave him
or her defenseless. The victim is then left at the mercy
of the perpetrator, led away to somewhere private and
ultimately assaulted. |
