Most women don’t report the assault or rape because they don’t think that their claim is reliable since they were drinking and have no remembrance of what occurred to them. Club drugs are also common date rape drugs for college students that party a lot.

“I felt his hands start to move down towards my shorts as if he was trying to unbutton them or pull them off. I was still crying at this point and felt so scared that I couldn't move” (Hummer, 1989).
