Campus Response to Date Rape Drugs
Date rape drugs have been seized near college campuses throughout Illinois. These drugs are chemicals that can be slipped into a drink to cause the victim to lose control and consciousness. Because these drugs have no detectable color, odor or taste when mixed with a drink, rapists can drug their victims with little difficulty. Once drugged, victims are often unable to move or even speak. They awake hours later with little or no memory of what has happened - possibly including sexual assault. Combined with alcohol, these drugs can be deadly.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan provides the following information to keep Illinoisans safe from the dangers of date rape drugs.
