Alcohol, roofies, GHB.  Ever heard of them?  Probably not.  Ever wonder why?  Because the girls involved don’t talk about them.  These girls can’t protest, can’t say “no!”, they can’t even talk they are so doped up.  Maybe she asked for it, maybe she shouldn’t have worn that shirt – maybe she just wasn’t aware it could happen to her.
