Three Women Hailed As Heroes For Stopping Alleged Date RapeFriends Sonia, Marla and Monica were out for a drink at a nice restaurant in Santa Monica, California when they saw something that was no joking matter. Monica noticed a man at another table holding a vial and dropping some liquid into his dates drink when she had gotten up to go to the bathroom.
The women were stunned. After a few Oh god. What do we dos, I got up to find her in the bathroom to tell her, Sonia explained on Facebook. Warn her. Tell her to get up and leave this creep. Make him drink it. Something.
She decided to follow the woman and approach her in the washroom. She told her what her girlfriend had seen and the woman was stunned. When Sonia asked the woman how well she knew the man, she responded, Hes one of my best friends.
Sonia rushed back to her two friends and Marla alerted a staff member. Staff security immediately acted and reviewed the security camera footage.

Cops are beginning to get the idea that someone somewhere will almost always have a cell phone to film what they do. Maybe POS men in general will start getting the hint that women aren't going to take this kind of shit any more either. Kudos to the three women who saw something, said something and kudos to the restaurant staff for taking the women seriously and responding appropriately.

I got chills reading your post.
No doubt, from somewhere in my past, and if I allowed myself to examine the source further, I believe I'd not be surprised to realize how often this personality type had crossed my path in life.
Maybe not a drug slipped in a drink, but manipulation so subtle that the methodical preplotting is part of the entire ritual of power & control.
I believe many have met this type of personality.

As an update, there were other charges like secretly videotaping the woman, but all but one of the charges were dropped due to lack of a proper warrant. https://www.laweekly.com/news/man-who-allegedly-tried-to-roofie-woman-in-bar-will-stand-trial-for-poisoning-7980864
I couldn't find what ultimately happened to him. He still had the serious charge of trying to drug the woman.

(10,397 posts)This is one of the biggest reasons I go to bars or clubs with my best friend who is also a female even if I don't want to go. When she gets up to use the restroom. I watch her drink so no one will spike it. Then again, I'm a 6'5, 300 pound man and would fuck up someone given the chance if they tried to do that.
Glad these women caught this. Hopefully more people will be alert on this sort of thing and intervene.

He didn't get away with it, so no harm done. It was probably just vitamins anyway. He was concerned for her health.
But whatever you do, don't publically identify this guy. It might hurt his future in the GOP. Well, maybe not there, but somewhere, maybe.

(21,733 posts)She was out for drinks with a girlfriend, a couple guys her girlfriend knew saw them and came over and bought them drinks. She remember having a couple drinks and then just being out of it. She left and made it to her car and just as she locked the doors one of the guys was knocking on the window and trying the handle to get in. She passed out and woke up locked safe in her car a couple hours later. She was perhaps 15 seconds from not getting into her car and locking the doors. To this day we have no idea the name of that monster that drugged her and was going to rape her.
This stuff is an epidemic and it's been going on for a long time.
