DOCTORS YESTERDAY issued a warning to women in Merseyside after a
spate of alleged rapes in which women reported having their drinks
drugged before being assaulted.
About 12 women have reported being raped in Liverpool in the past
few months, with a least four saying their drinks were "spiked".
Three of the women, who are aged between 16 and 25, said they were
assaulted after going into a "trance" while out drinking with friends
during the Maybank holiday.
In one case a woman said she woke up in a field to find a man
sexually assaulting her. In another a woman said she began to lose
her memory after one and a half glasses of wine.
