WHY WE URGENTLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL EXTENT OF DRINK SPIKING – AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

Yesterday a man was jailed for 24 years at Exeter Crown Court. He had raped five women in Devon and Somerset after spiking their drinks.

Four of the five victims did not initially report their ordeals to the police.

Based on our experiences at StopTopps, we are horrified but not surprised.

Most incidents of drink spiking and the consequences that follow appear not to be reported meaning official crime statistics don’t give anything like a true picture of the extent of this sickening crime.

We want to change that and find out the true picture. We’d appreciate your help.

Would you take a few minutes to complete and share our anonymous and confidential survey about drink spiking, whether you have any experience of it or not?

The sooner we understand the true picture and can present the data to those in authority, the sooner we can change things for the better.

Thank you in advance:
