GHB – is only detectable for up to 7 to 8 hours after taking it. No – GHB it was not found in my system. My blood was sent to the state crime lab to be tested. The only thing they found was quinine (from the tonic). Thus – dropping the “aggravated” part of the criminal sexual assault charges. We knew he did it. We just could not prove it. We almost did with his own words. GHB is comes in a liquid form - no taste - no smell. I feel it was given to me (small ammount) at the bar and then a large ammount at the lake in the beer he forced into my mouth.

During my rapist interrogation, before the police even asked or hinted around to the fact of GHB or another drug used, he made the statement ‘What do you think I drugged her?” Then continued to make similar clamed as to not drugging me when he was never asked if he did, and the question was never implied.

I have been drunk before ( honestly - more then a couple). Never have I felt this feeling before or since the attack that night. I have replayed and staged the entire event several times to see how much I could drink and never came to that state EVER.

I was sharp minded and had NO motor skills. Looking at the symptoms I felt is how it was determined to be GHB. Although it was brought up that it could have been some kind of animal tranquilizer. (That part of my story will come out in the capture.)
After my rape, he admitted, he went to the neighboring town to buy cocaine.
He had a serious drug habit as well. I'm not implying that because he did - he would do this. Just that he had easy access to street drugs.

I cannot imagine how horrifying that must be.  It's one thing to be able to fight your attacker (even if you don't get away) but it is horrifying to not be in control of your physical faculties while it's happening.  Just out of curiosity, did you have a blood test or something that proved the GHB and that is how you knew what it was?  How did he slip it to you?  Drinks?  What a cold, calculated, cowardly thing to do!  Since you have been in the business of SO, maybe you can give me a little education with regard to my sisters situation.  My sister was raped when she was living in Allentown, Pa back in 1993.  She had been in rehab for alcoholism prior to the incident and was slowly slipping into relapse.  She relapsed in a very big way unfortunately.  While she was intoxicated, in her own apartment, a man violently raped her.  She was not aware of the incident with the exception of bruising and soreness (other physical signs).  When I called the ambulance, she was nearly dead from alcohol poisoning (her BAL was 0.35 several hours after she arrived at the hospital so one can imagine what it was during the incident).  She found out nine weeks into rehab that she was pregnant from that incident.  She had needed blood work to make sure her liver function was being restored by the medication they were giving her and that was when they ran the pregnancy test.  I think it is standard because the drug can cause birth defects so they do it as a precautionary measure.   I now have a ten year old nephew who is absolutely sweet and smart as a whip!  He is not of our ethnicity and he is much darker (he gets the best tan....that little stinker) anyway, he asks about his father and why he doesn't look like us.  Getting back to the subject, she wanted to persue this legally because several witnesses saw him leave her apartment and she remembers being in and out of consciousness and seeing his face over her and hearing grunting noises.   She knew him which made it hard to believe that he could do this because he frequented some of the AA meetings she went to in Allentown and Bethlehem..  She went to the police and then consulted a lawyer.  The lawyer told her that given her past with rehab, they could not prove that she did not consent in her state of mind at that time so she would be battered by the defense attorney on the stand.  She never did persue it and she has spent the larger part of the past ten years in therapy.  It really sucks that she couldn't get justice and now she worries every day that he will come and kidnap her son.  He calls all the time to find out about him and she hangs up.  He often tells her this is his son too and she can't keep him from him.  The police told her that if he makes it out of the country with him there is nothing they can do because we have no reciprocity with his country.  What a mess!
