What are the effects of drug rape?
It is important to point out that reactions will vary from person to person and will depend on which type of drug was used. Drugs used may result in a woman becoming physically ‘helpless’ to respond, result in loss of memory (which may or may not return) or may stimulate sexual response. Women are not to blame for any of this. Even if she consented to take the drug (and that might be the case) she is still not responsible for any subsequent abuse. Women may experience extreme fearfulness or an ‘out of control’ sensation, particularly if they cannot remember what happened or when the memories come back. Women may have suffered physical injury but be unaware of it immediately or unaware of how the injury happened.
