Date Rape
Rape can be defined as a sex, forced upon you without mutual content to do so. Date rape occurs when someone you know rapes you. Rape is always a crime. Date rape drugs can be given to you without you knowing. If you are given date rape drugs, or if you are under the influence of alcohol you may not be able to say no. The inability to give a clear answer in response to sex is not consent. Even if you were drinking, being raped is NEVER your fault. If you or someone you know has been raped there are resources for you including local women’s services and the National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673).
