They’re not having all those kids because they love being a mom, they’re doing it because of their twisted reading of the scriptures and their interpretation that God has commanded them to breed a Christian army. For them, it’s not about being a good mom or having kids to love and cherish, it’s about doing their duty…

What the hell! This is terrifying. And what a dick move by the cops; I’d be furious too.

My guess is that he wanted to take me out of the picture so he could get at her.

God, no, don’t apologize! There is no issue more infuriating that sexual assualt. You’ve come to the right place to vent!

Really, it’s people like you all, truly, who are going to create a changed environment. I am stunned and humbled and more appreciative than any of you can ever know that a large number of anonymous people behind computer screens cared enough to even lend support, really. I really don’t talk like this in person, but…

I am currently reading Jon Krakauer’s Missoula, his excellent investigation into a series of rapes in this college town in Montana, and an essential primer about the state of rape in America. And what you say is exactly why experts claim that 80% of rapes go unreported. The intense physical trauma, the fact that most…

All of these things. Everything you said. Everything. It’s such a sick, dangerous trick to pull on someone, it’s truly unfathomable. Psycopathic.

Totally agree. What if you’d have a reaction to the drug? What if you’d been using (legal) prescription meds he didn’t know about? What if you’d aspirated during the night and couldn’t breathe? It’s awful enough that he victimized you, but he could’ve killed you too. I hope this guy gets what’s coming to him, but I…

I have at least two girlfriends who made the same decision you did in somewhat similar circumstances, and both of them are convinced they made the right decision, even though they aren’t thrilled about it. And I don’t blame them — the shit women go through when they report can be even more damaging than the actual…

I wonder if people like this ever face the consequences. Imagine someone doing this on a regular basis because they KNOW they will not get caught.

Yep. He thought he could get away with it because he’s done it before and has always gotten away with it in the past? I noted the post above where someone mentioned their friend who was drugged at the same location.

People who ‘drug’ other people for ill-purposes don’t really care about their well being. Also- they may have been given general guidelines about dosage from their dealer.

Thank you. My wife and I were roofied together, and while the end result wasn’t as bad as yours, literally everyone we told said “oh, well, you guys were drinking and acting drunk, soooo . . . “

And there’s the business of how acquired the drug. That’s always bothered me. I mean, I *know* how he could have gotten ahold of it, but that he did without problem and employed it with such ease. Fast forward a few years, I can’t give my daughter Children’s Mortin without monitoring her breathing thinking I OD-ed…

As a guy, I didn’t think this kind of thing happened a lot. I thought it was just something you saw on very special episodes of American TV shows. But then it happened to a friend of mine, and I was there and it was some scary ass shit and it wasn’t even happening to me. We were at a club and I went to use the…

I am really sorry to hear this happened to you.

Geez, you all are so kind, really. I don’t think I’ve breathed a word of it in years, but seeing this story and how this girl is being pilloried by the establishment owners and stymied by an ineffective “investigation,” it felt like an OK space to share.

And do you know that I left that morning, pretended everything was fine, just going to grab a coffee, and went right to the police (this was a few yrs ago when I was still living in NYC), but when I got there, the whole place was middle-aged, chubby men mulling around. Though I’m an attorney and a pretty savvy, put…

Fucking Hell. I’m sorry that happened to you. That shouldn’t happen to anyone.

I was, too, had one drink, and I most definitely made out with the guy as - wait for it - I was dating him! That did not mean I wanted to be violently choked, dragged around, shown rough porn and used without protection for an entire overnight like I was.
