Date and drug rape claimsAn increasing number of rapes and sexual assaults take place while the victim is rendered defenseless by drugs, caused mainly by spiking their drinks. This is illegal and still counts as an offence of rape or sexual assault.

This form of attack is known as date rape or drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA).

In the past, DFSA has largely been ignored and dismissed as an excuse for excessive drinking. However, the recent conviction of the London cabbie who drugged and sexually assaulted a large number of women has helped to raise public awareness of this crime.

The Police can be slow to accept the possibility of DFSA and, for this reason, a lot of applications to the CICA are refused due to a lack of evidence that a criminal act occurred; this basically means that the police are not convinced that the applicant did not agree to have sex.
