A woman at a bar is drugged with GHB. It is also known as liquid X, and used commonly as a date rape drug. The woman experiences X type side effects, & has intercourse with 2 men. The next morning, she remembers nothing of the night before, from about an hour after arriving at the bar. After piecing together the night before from the people she remembers from her first hour at the bar, she learns she had intercourse with these two men (at the same time), and her friends thought it was consensual. Does the fact that she was drugged, but did not say NO, constitute the incident as rape?
Please tell me the sarcasm font failed
Quoting toomanypoodles:IDK, ya go to a bar, possibly to get drunk or to meet a date...anything could happen.
Watch where ya go if you don't want bad things to happen to ya.
Of course it's rape. If you are assaulted while you are asleep or in a coma does it count since you didn't say no? Of course. Does it count when someone has sex with a person who has an intellectual disability and doesn't realize what is happening is rape and doesn't say no? Of course. GHB and other drugs like it usually make a person seem comatose when it fully kicks in so they usually can't say no because they are severely sedated.
From the Rape Treatment Center:
GHB is a powerful synthetic drug that has euphoric and sedative effects. It acts as depressant on the central nervous system. It is rapidly metabolized by the body. The effects of the drug can be felt within fifteen to twenty minutes after ingestion.
GHB can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, respiratory depression, and intense drowsiness. In some cases, GHB causes unconsciousness or coma. As a result, you may not be able to recall what happened to you while you were under the influence of the drug.
When GHB is ingested with alcohol or other drugs, the consequences may be life threatening. Without immediate and appropriate medical care, the results may be fatal.
Several characteristics of GHB make it especially dangerous: First, it takes a very small amount (e.g., a few drops, a capful) to have a big effect. It is easy to overdose. Second, when GHB is used alone, or when it is mixed with alcohol and other drugs, it may cause death. Third, most of the GHB being used today is the "homegrown" variety. It is made by non-professionals in their own "street labs," kitchens, or bathtubs by mixing various chemical ingredients. There may be significant differences in the purity, concentration, and potency of various batches. The same amount taken from two separate batches may have very different effects.
Its still rape, the drug makes you susceptible to suggestion. If person is unknowingly drugged,. then made to have sex, it is rape period.
If you know people in OK help out with getting people together
