Alcohol is the most readily available date rape drug. Sometimes other odorless and tasteless illegal drugs or prescription drugs may be added to the alcohol you are drinking and cause your judgment, ability to resist, or even ability to stay awake or conscious to be dramatically affected.
You may have been sexually assaulted while you are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs if you
- Have a gut feeling you had sex but can’t remember clearly what happened
- Remember part of the night, but not much else afterward
- Feel like you were or still are a whole lot more drunk or affected that you normally would be by the amount of alcohol or drugs you consumed
Regardless of underage drinking or other illegal activity, if you decide to report a sexual report to law enforcement, they will investigate only (per Penal Code 13823.11) the crime you are reporting(Penal Code 13823.11).
