Drink Spiking:
Offenders may try to play down alcohol as a form of drink spiking by saying ‘it’s just a joke’ in their failed sexual advances.
But there are people who have allergic reactions to Alcohol. Others who can only tolerate a certain level or form of alcohol.
A close friend of mine would end up in ER, if spiking were to happen to her.

For most others it leads to a level of trauma/hyper vigilance where they can no longer light-heartedly enjoy the night life. Romance can’t happen when women fear such predatory behaviours like sexual harassment and spiking.

Its. Not. A. Joke.

The incident, alongside stories of rape cases being dropped because evidence freezers were broken and frosted over, is one of many detailed in a truly damning report into London’s Metropolitan Police that called for radical and urgent reform.

"She recalled one meeting of senior Met officers in 2014. “And they put up on the board that nearly 200 officers were under investigation for sexual assault. I thought, What the fuck are you guys doing? But nobody seemed bothered. I looked at that and went, Jesus Christ. So I do know where a lot of the bodies are buried. They’ve known about this stuff a long time.”

Good article on Betsy Stanko, the eminent US criminologist.

"Two to three Metropolitan Police officers will be appearing in court every week, including more charged with sexual offences and domestic abuse, the commissioner has said.

Sir Mark Rowley admitted there are more than “just a few bad apples” in the force and warned of more “ghastly” cases to come."
