Article: Warning over `date rape' drug as women attacked

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.
