COMMON DATE RAPE DRUGS
Date rape drugs are any type of drug or alcohol used to make rape or sexual assault easier. Drugs or alcohol can make a person confused about what is happening, less able to defend themselves against unwanted sexual contact, or unable to remember what happened. Many people use the phrase “date rape.” But the person who commits the crime might not be in a relationship, or on a date, with the victim. Someone who commits date rape can be someone you know well, someone you know through friends, or someone you just met.
Gamma Hydroxy Butyricacid, Rohypnol, and Ketamine are the three drugs most commonly known as “date rape drugs.” Each of them has been used in recent, high-profile cases to sexually assault incapacitated victims. Most shocking is that alcoholis the most widely used date rape drug across the world.
