Saskatoon police investigating date-rape druggings

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Saskatoon, SK. – Saskatoon police are investigating two potentially linked cases of sexual assault using date rape drugs — and they’re warning women to be careful this long weekend. In both cases, the women believe they were sexually assaulted after being drugged without their knowledge at lounges or nightclubs. Victims of date rape drugs are often confused and ashamed and might not come forward to police, she said. “Many times the woman says, ‘I don’t know what happened to me, I was drinking,’ or ‘I was thinking I was in a safe place, and suddenly, I don’t remember anything.’Two weeks ago, CBC reported that Regina doctors had also noticed a recent spike in the use of the drugs.

Saskatoon police are warning women to take precautions when at a nightclub or party. That includes: not accepting drinks from people they don’t know, not drinking from bottles they don’t open themselves and not leaving drinks unattended. Police also recommend that women throw out any drinks that have been left unattended.
