spiked

One in four women say they have had a drink spiked in a club or pub; the most likely place to be drugged and raped in Britain is Cardiff.

In the first national survey of its kind, Maggie O'Kane reported on the shocking escalation of drug rape - and speaks to some of the women who have survived it. 

The film investigated the phenomena of drink spiking all across the UK asking why certain cities were hot spots for the crime. The film talks for the first time to victims who complained how the police failed to take them seriously; how when men were finally convicted they received derisory sentences.
