Volume 27
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is DBKP's This Week in Crime for August 10th-August 16th, 2008.
At craigscrimelist I made another short post about more teens involved in prostitution. And again more people think they're not victims.
The most interesting link I posted at CrimeNe.ws this week was a rare occurrence, someone on death row who actually took responsibility for his crimes.
At News of Doom we had several disturbing stories this week but the one that disturbed me the most was a story about a Florida DJ who had his eyes cut out.
The news was light this week at MyCrimeSpace but the story that was in the national media spotlight for a bit was about the missing Malibu twins. Luckily they were unharmed for the most part.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles the story that righteously raised my ire was a story about two parents who sued a school district for their son getting shot and killed there. You'd think they would have a case but read the post to find out why I think they're trying to collect blood money.
Speaking of blood money at Bad Breeders I posted a story about how I think there are some who are trying to collect their own blood money in the case of missing child Caylee Marie Anthony.
This weekend I've also opened a message board called The Open Trench. You can discuss any story from my blogs or any topic at all.
As usual if you want to follow my blogs you can use Twitter, the RSS feed, or Netvibes, and also Friend Feed.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is DBKP's This Week in Crime for August 3rd-August 9th, 2008.
At craigscrimelist I made a short post about a woman who forced a girl into prostitution and yet some people still say that prostitution is a victimless crime.
Readers of DBKP may find this story from CrimeNe.ws interesting. Animal rights activists are believed to have firebombed the houses of two medical researchers.
At News of Doom the dismemberment theme continues as a woman in Greece was beheaded by her boyfriend. I also post weekly kitten pictures to help cleanse the mental pallet after reading these kind of stories.
The big story this week at MyCrimeSpace was the story about Mercades Nichols. You my remember her name from the infamous recorded beating of Victoria Lindsay. She's back in the news again because she was arrested again. This time on unrelated charges to the beating.
At my flagship site, TheTrenchcoat Chronicles, I posted a story that seems to have fallen off the media's radar lately. It's about an 18-year-old kid who may not only have been a would be school shooter but may have also been a would be presidential assassin.
And lastly at Bad Breeders while the coverage of the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony chugs on like the train that could the other story I want to feature this week is about a 14-year-old father accused of brutal child abuse.
As usual if you want to follow my blogs you can use Twitter, the RSS feed, or Netvibes, and now I also have Friend Feed for those of you who really want to stalk me online.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

[Editor's Note: DBKP apologize for the lateness of this week's Trench on Crime. We mistakenly thought this was posted earlier in the week. Look for new Trench's DBKP This Week in Crime on Sunday or Monday, as is usual.]
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is DBKP's This Week in Crime for July 27th-August 2nd, 2008.
This week at craigscrimelist I the most amusing story was this one about a male temp that was running a prostitution ring in a veterinarian's office.
My favorite link from CrimeNe.ws this week would be this one which just happens to go to a guest post I did for Investigation Discovery.
Business has definitely picked up at News of Doom where we had not one but two particularly grisly stories.
At MyCrimeSpace the story of the week was about a 17-year-old rapist who was sentenced to 3 years in juvenile detention. The real story is in the comments section of that post.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles we had a story about a school shooter who is spending his life in prison who wants you to feel sorry for him.
And lastly at Bad Breeders while the coverage of the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony continues I do want to point out this post about a newborn that was mauled by a dog? Freak accident or inattentive parents?
As usual if you want to follow my blogs you can use Twitter, the RSS feed, or Netvibes. If you have another way you'd prefer to follow my blogs let me know.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.
So until the next time have a good sin.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is DBKP's This Week in Crime for July 20th-July 26th, 2008.
This week at craigscrimelist I posted a story about how proponents of the so called 'victimless crime' harassed a man who was actually trying to clean up craigslist.
I think the DBKP readers might get a kick from a link I posted at CrimeNe.ws about some Barack Obama supporters.
Things are still slow at News of Doom except for one story I posted about yet another woman who had her baby cut from her womb.
A story from MyCrimeSpace that DBKP readers may also find interesting is the latest legal wrangling in the upcoming trial of Lori Drew.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about the most recent shooting to take place at a college campus. Even during the summer this still happens.
And lastly at Bad Breeders, I know I mentioned it last week but the blogging continues about the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony. Especially with the weird things that her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, keeps saying to the press.
Remember, if you want to follow my sites the best way is to use Twitter, the RSS feed, or Netvibes. Considering how often I change things around these ways are the best ways to keep up with me.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.
Remember that the evil you brew, is waiting outside to be paid by you.

July 13-July 19, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for July 13th-July 19th, 2008.
This week at the newly redesigned craigscrimelist the story this week was about an Idaho man who was tried and convicted for using craigslist to try to rape someone. You won't believe what his defense was.
My favorite link that I posted at CrimeNe.ws this week was about how some police departments are using injections to subdue some suspects.
Things slowed down this week again at News of Doom but I did post an update to the Megan Williams torture case.
At MyCrimeSpace the story of the week was about Joseph Genovese Jr. He killed a woman while driving under the influence then basically bragging about it on MySpace. You won't believe this one.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles a man who threatened a Columbine investigator only received probation. Yet people wonder why there are so many repeat offenders.
And lastly the Bad Breeders story of the week was the search for 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony who has been missing for over a month but her mom never reported it.

July 6-July 12, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for July 6th-July 12th, 2008.
I'm going to start out light this week with a story I posted at craigscrimelist. It was about a Florida government employee who was arrested for using craigslist to harass someone. What made it humorous is that I had a field day with his unfortunate name.
My favorite link that I posted at CrimeNe.ws was about an experimental crowd control device that has the tin foil hat crowd up in arms.
Business picked up at News of Doom and that's never a good thing. The most horrific story of the week was about an Oklahoma family who committed one of the worst cases of child abuse I've ever had the displeasure of posting about.
At MyCrimeSpace the conversation continued about the disappearance of Brooke Bennett especially with the revelation that the state of Vermont released her alleged abductor early.
At Psycho for Love I posted about an arrogant punk who gunned downed his girlfriend in front of witnesses and on surveillance tape but denied it.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about the revelations that came out this week about NIU gunman Stephen Kazmierczak.
And lastly the Bad Breeder of the week and possibly the year was an Ohio woman who did unspeakable things to her children.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for June 22nd-28th, 2008
At craigscrimelist we had not one but two male prostitutes that were arrested through craigslist.
Part of what I like to at CrimeNe.ws is link to other bloggers who have put up amazing posts. This week that would be this post about two people who are in my local area who were shot and killed in an armed robbery.
Continuing the not one but two trend at News of Doom I posted two stories that put Texas in the lead. The first was about Randy Sylvester who is accused of burning his own kids. The second one was about a robbery gone bad that netted the suspects only $2.
At MyCrimeSpace I've been following the disappearance of Brooke Bennett. A 12-year-old girl from Vermont who may have been taken by someone who contacted her over MySpace.
At Psycho for Love I'm still following the story of accused black widow Betty Neumar. Authorities originally thought she may have killed her first husband but that turned out to be not true.
Do you remember the story of the Georiga third graders who plotted to kill their teacher? At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted a follow up on how two of the third suspects have entered into plea deals.
And lastly at Bad Breeders I posted a story about an Arizona couple who almost starved their 2-year-old to death, even in the hospital.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.
Here's hoping I don't blog about you.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for June 15th-21st, 2008
At craigscrimelist there was an unusual turn of events when a Phoenix blamed craigslist for a crime that they had no part in...for once.
CrimeNe.ws has yet another format change and is providing quick links with minimal commentary to crime news stories.
At News of Doom the most horrific story of the week had to be about the cult in the Czech Republic where one of its members skinned her own child and fed the flesh to other members.
MyCrimeSpace had its own horrific story when an HIV positive man was charged with the rapes of underage girls he met through MySpace and VampireFreaks.
The headlines in my own backyard have been about the recently arrested alleged Black Widow so at Psycho for Love I posted about Betty Neumar who buried 5 husbands since the 50's.
Are you one of those people who think teens should be never charged as adults? Then you might be interested in a post I made at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles. Two teens from Minnesota are have been charged as adults in a double murder. Yet I don't hear the usual bleeding hearts coming to their defense. Is it because these kids are black?
And unfortunately I have a sad passing to report in the Trench Reynolds family of blogs. I'm shuttering Vice Tube because it just hasn't been producing content or traffic so I have to clos its doors. However don't be dismayed because I have started a brand new project that I hope will get the support of DBKP readers. The concept behind the new blog is to document people who dare to call themselves parents after the atrocities they commit on their own children. It's called Bad Breeders. On Saturday I posted a story about a couple from Mass. who would sexually abuse the woman's 8-year-old daughter and share the pictures with each other.
That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for May 18th-24th, 2008
At craigscrimelist I posted about the reality of child prostitution on craigslist. No matter how much the deniers protest it is happening.
Over at CrimeNe.ws I've been keeping an eye on the Philly police beating and how the victims, who are also shooting suspects, are being supported by a pro-cop killing group and a lawyer who can't stay out of jail.
At News of Doom Florida widened its lead with a story about a woman who kept her adopted kids in cages. Stories like this always amaze me considering how hard it is for families to adopt in this country.
The story of the week at MyCrimeSpace was the one about the 17-year-old who posted nude pics of his 16-year-old ex on MySpace. He was warned by police to take them down and had a less than eloquent response.
At Psycho for Love I posted a story about the Nevada State Representative that stabbed her husband of 7 weeks because he embarrassed her in front of friends. I'm sure there's a 'slash the state budget' joke in there somewhere.
At Vice Tube I posed the question to Google on how can they censor the internet for a country of a billion people but can't prevent snuff videos from being posted to YouTube.
And lastly at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about a 33-year-old who conspired with a 16-year-old to commit mass murder and how there was child porn on the 33-year-old's computer. Was he really interested in school shootings or grooming his intended victim?
Don't forget you can follow all my blogs on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP. And even though Memorial Day is for military it wouldn't hurt to thank a member of law enforcement either. They keep the peace at home while our troops are fighting overseas.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for May 11th-17th, 2008
At craigscrimelist I received an e-mail from a reader who said that there was a possible predator in Tampa using craigslist to find his victims. craigslist is a scary place if you're not educated or have the right guide.
My favorite blurb from CrimeNe.ws this week was about another injustice of New Jersey eliminating its death penalty.
The most enraging story for the week at News of Doom was a story about a 12-year-old girl from Missouri who was trained to be a dominatrix and child prostitute. The child's 'mother' allowed a man and woman to do this.
In News of Doom scoring news the unholy triumvirate of Florida, Texas, and New York sit atop the standings. Click here to see where your state stands.
At MyCrimeSpace the story of the week was undoubtedly the federal indictment of Lori Drew. However a new video of the Victoria Lindsay beating was also released this past week.
At Psycho for Love a close friend of mine asked me to do him a favor by posting a story about a Texas woman who was beaten to death with a baseball bat by her ex-husband. The cowardly scumbag left three kids parentless. There's information for donations at the post.
Vice Tube was back on track this past week with posts about the alleged teenage rape victim her took to YouTube for telling her story. However it may not be about justice.
And lastly at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I'd like to point out two posts I made this past week. The first one asks why do we need video to be outraged about crimes in this country? The other one is about a policeman's son who served 50 days out of a nine month sentence for plotting an attack against his school, while an innocent kid, in my opinion, served all of his sentence for the same plot. Preferential treatment? You tell me.

I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for May 4th-10th, 2008
The big news this week at craigscrimelist was about a rapist who used craigslist to find his victims. The sad twist to this one is that the rapist is alleged to have HIV.
On a lighter note from CCL check out a radio interview I did with the Canadian Broadcast Company.
My favorite short blurb at CrimeNe.ws was about the suicide of D.C. Madam Deborah Palfrey and the conspiracies that follow.
To put a damper on Mother's Day over at News of Doom was a story about a mother from Germany who is alleged to have killed three of her newborns and stored them in the freezer.
A couple of weeks ago you may remember the story I posted at MyCrimeSpace about an Australian man who was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Well, he was acquitted.
At Psycho for Love the story of the week was about a spoiled rich kid from New England who was convicted of punching his girlfriend so hard he lacerated her liver. You can also read about all the people that have enabled him over the years.
And lastly at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I called the media to task for once again trying to connect video games to school shootings and I do it without mentioning GTA IV.
I keep forgetting to mention this but now you can follow all my blogs on Twitter.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP, hoping your Mother's Day celebration doesn't make it to my sites.

April 27-May 3, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for April 27th-May 3rd
First up at craigscrimelist the so-called victimless crime of prostitution strikes again., This time in Vallejo, California where a mother-son duo pimped out a 15-year-old girl.
On an unrelated note, craigscrimelist and myself had a nice little write up in the Globe and Mail.
Over at the weekly horrorfest that is News of Doom the theme this week seemed to be scalding. We had two stories about children that were intentionally scalded.
Florida extended its lead to 12 points this week.
Then at CrimeNe.ws the conviction of Hans Reiser was discussed and why I think the conviction was correct.
The Florida videotaped teen beating is still reigning supreme over at MyCrimeSpace. This week the controversy continues with one of the teen suspect's lawyer says that their client has been overcharged.
At Psycho for Love I posted about a female teacher from Tampa who was caught having sex with a student for the third time.
ViceTube has become the new home of what I like to call the Red Forman Dumbass Award and we have two stories that illustrate that point.
And lastly at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted a story that didn't get a whole lot of media coverage considering it came out of New York City. There was a hostage situation at CCNY and barely anyone outside of New York heard about it.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

It's 1984 in Maine
New Bill in Maine Makes "Visual Sexual Aggression" a Crime
It might be 2008 in the rest of the USA, but in Maine, it's 1984.
A new bill in the Pine Tree State would make it a crime to peer at children in public. It's been asserted that some legislators can justify making any action a crime--as long as they add the magic words "for the children" to the mix.
This Maine bill adds proof to that assertion.
State Rep. Dawn Hill, D-York, is the head cheerleader for a bill only a fan of police state actions could love.
Or a police chief.
Her involvement started when Ogunquit Police Lt. David Alexander was called to a local beach to deal with a man who appeared to be observing children entering the community bathrooms. Because the state statute prevents arrests for visual sexual aggression of a child in a public place, Alexander said he and his fellow officer could only ask the man to move along.
"There was no violation of law that we could enforce. There was nothing we could charge him with," Alexander said.
So that's the problem: police could only ask the man to "move along". The man had not committed a crime--at least outside of Maine.
In the movie, "Vanilla Sky", the state had a police crime which busted into people's home and prevented "pre-crime": crime that hadn't happened yet, but which was forseen by a committee of mutants who had the power to see into the future.
Maine doesn't have any prescient mutants that is known, but one suspects that Ray Dawn Hill or Police Chief Alexander would volunteer for the position. "Pre-crime" is their concern.
As long as it's "for the children", arresting someone who is denounced for "visual sexual aggression" is positively an advance in crime prevention for the determined duo.
Ray Dawn Hill will be watching you--to make sure you don't watch childrenAlso at DBKP.com: "Coming Soon: Thought Crime, Maine-Style"
So, besides consoling each other with "there ought to be a law" talk, what steps did Maine's finest criminal minds do next?
[Alexander] attended a talk with Hill a week later and brought the case to her attention. Hill pledged to do what she could, Alexander said, and the result was a change through the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee in the House, which made the law applicable in both private and public places.
Alexander said he's grateful Hill was willing to take up the cause, and is hopeful the measure will clear the Senate.
"I'll be pleased that we were able to identify this flaw and take steps to rectify it," he said.
There's apparently been no thought--as there is many times in crafting "feel good" legislation--about the unintended consequences of have a law against unlawful looking. Just a rush to rectify something that might have been solved with a simple "move along".
Anyone who has children has seen other children play and let their minds wander back to when their own children were that age--and then on to whatever other times and places that such thoughts transport the thinker to.
Just be careful not to do that in Ray Dawn Hill's Maine or the thinker may be transported to jail.
It's little consolation to any Maine visitor who's denounced for "visual sexual aggression" that Hill's legislative handiwork is unconstitutional. That's court decisions and many lawyer's bills away.
In the meantime, if this becomes law, mark down Maine as a place where you better just keep your eyes to yourself--especially if you're in the company of children.
File this one under "Legislative Mischief".

April 6-12, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for April 6th-12th, 2008
At craigscrimelist the story of the week was about what can happen when you order an 'escort' from carigslist. It can get you shot in the face.
Over at CrimeNe.ws my favorite post of the week was a column from Michael Smerconish who pints out that the Pennsylvania death penalty is a sham.
At News of Doom I Posted the story about the 2-year-old from Pennsylvania who was beaten to death with a video game controller. I focused less on the controller and more on the aabuser.
Florida is still on top.
At MyCrimeSpace the subject of the week was mainly about the 8 teens from Florida who recorded themselves beating another girl in order to post it to YouTube and MySpace. It gets even better with responses from one of the mothers and qa bailing out by Dr. Phil.
At Psycho for Love I posted about a teacher who tried to marry an underage student. But since the teacher was male he'll probably get the death penalty.
Speaking of double standards at ViceTube I posted about a beating that you'll probably never hear about.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for March 23-28th ,2008.
At craigscrimelist this week there was stories about houses being ransacked and babies for sale but my best post this week was about a clueless state Attorney General who has no idea how the internet works.
Over at CrimeNe.ws I posted a story about an 11-year-old who was Tasered. She had it coming.
At News of Doom there wasn't really a story of the week so I bring to you a story and a rant about safe haven laws.
ALSO at DBKP.com: Trench Reynolds: DBKP This Week in Crime
The top scorers remain unchanged from last week.
At MyCrimeSpace the catch of the week was the MySpace of one of the Virginia snipers.
At Psycho for Love we had not one but two stories about women who put their babies in danger to help their criminal boyfriends.
I started yet another new project this week in the vein of craigscrimelist and MyCrimeSpace. This time it's about stupid criminals who tend to post their acts on YouTube. My new project is called CrimeTube. The content is light right now but go on over and take a look.
And lastly at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I go a little off topic and give my thoughts on the recent court ruling about cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds.

I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for March 16th-22nd, 2008.
At craigscrimelist people often tell me that prostitution is a victimless crime. So I guess these kids that were prostituted weren't victims then.
It was vagina week at CrimeNe.ws as we had not one but two stories of moms trying to hide things in their mommy parts.
The story of the week at News of Doom was an obvious choice this week. It was this story out of Michigan where two alleged parents barbecued the body of their two year old to cover up his death.
Florida is still first place in the U.S. but England rules the world right now.
At MyCrimeSpace I've been posting about a rash of suicides in a Welsh town that some people have blame3d on the social site Bebo. Not the local coroner though. He's blaming it on YouTube.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles not only do I post about school shootings but also about extreme cases of hazing. This week I posted a story about a high school football player from Ohio who sodomized a teammate with a drinking straw.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds.
Happy Easter and be careful out there.

March 9th-15, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is the DBKP Week in Crime for March 9th-15th, 2008
I'm Trench Reynolds.
I blog about crime.
This is DBKP's This Week in Crime for March 9th-15th,2008.
At craigscrimelist I posted two stories about readers that came across real estate scams where the scammers all used the same last name.
No farm animals being Tasered this week at CrimeNe.ws so instead how about a gnome that's terrorizing a town in Argentina.
There was somewhat of a recurring theme this week at News of Doom. It was victimize the mentally handicapped week apparently. In Illinois a pregnant and disabled woman was tortured to death. And in New Jersey three teens raped a mentally handicapped girl.
Florida still commands a hefty first place lead.
At MyCrimeSpace I give out an award to criminals who post evidence of their crime online called the Red Forman Dumbass Award. This week it was awarded to a group of wannabe thugs from Sheboygan.
At Psycho for Love I posted a story about a woman who married another woman but didn't realize that the other woman was a woman.
At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about a guy who claims that Columbine was his idea and about the latest school shooting plot to be broken up.
Lastly at my personal blog I posted a little political/crime/humor post about everyone's favorite ex-New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer.
That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds.
Be careful out there.

Robbers wearing ski masks and waving machetes burst into a western Sydney club in Australia Wednesday evening only to end up hog-tied and beaten by bikers.
The robbers had burst into the club and yelled at the patrons to "lie down" while they attempted to rob the cash register. What they didn't realize was that 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club were meeting in another room.
‘We caught him at the fence and crash-tackled him and hog-tied him to the ground and waited for the police to get there,’’ Jester said.
There's an estimated 35 outlaw biker gangs in Australia with 3,500 members. Aussies call them "bikies."
In 2007 the Aussie police vowed a "crackdown" on bikies during the funeral of a member of the Bandidos. The police were going to "get tough" by issuing tickets for not wearing a helmet and that all bikies were licensed and their bikes registered.
This action by the Aussie police stems from violence between different gangs, shootings and arson over "drug distribution."
As for the two robbers, in trying to escape the bikers one leapt off a balcony while the other tried to flee through a service entrance only to end up slightly beaten but humiliatingly hog-tied.

A story that should serve as a warning to older women, that the specter of date-rape drugs not only happens to their younger counterparts, but to women of all ages.
A sharp-eyed waiter turned hero after he saw a patron slip a pill into his date's drink back on Jan. 3rd at a Colorado Springs restaurant, Ruby Tuesday's.
The waiter called the cops after he removed the drink from the table. The authorities arrested Robert Lawrence Psaty, 56, after tests revealed the pill contained Diazepam.
Diazepam is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which are used to treat anxiety disorders, muscle spasms and certain types of seizures.
According to the Denver Post, Psaty had met the woman at a dating service and the two were having dinner at the family restaurant, Ruby Tuesdays. It was at Ruby Tuesday's that a waiter saw Psaty slip some sort of pill into the woman's drink. The quick thinking waiter managed to take the drink and call the authorities who then had it tested. When the tests came back positive for diazepam, Psaty was arrested.
The 56-year-old Psaty is employed as a mental health technician at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo. Psaty worked the forensic unit which treats patients committed after being found 'not guilty' of a crime/crimes due to insanity.
A former city councilman, Psaty was charged in '93 with harassing a nurse at his former place of employment, the Centennial Correctional Facility. Psaty pled guilty and received a deferred sentence.
The preferred drug of choice of date rapers and others who slip substances into an unsuspecting victim's drink is Rohypnol. A very potent tranquilizer - sleeping pill similar to diazepam but whose effects are much stronger.
Within 10 minutes of ingesting the drug the victim may begin to feel dizzy and disoriented. Mixed with alcohol the effect is maximized, they'll begin to have difficulty speaking, feel hot or cold, nauseated, suffer a loss of inhibitions and then eventually pass out. The drug also has an amnesiac-type of effect, rendering the victim unable to recollect what had happened to them. Mixed with too much alcohol the combination can lead to respiratory distress and death.
The perfect drug for sexual assault or rape.
Younger women, especially those in college, have been warned of the dangers of date-rape drugs. The label, "date-rape" drug is misleading. Victims have been drugged by total strangers in bars and clubs.
The man recently arrested in Colorado Springs, Robert Lawrence Psaty, was a 56-year-old male, no word on the age of his alleged victim. This is should serve as a warning to women of all ages that the usage of date-rape drugs is not limited to younger offenders.
Kudos to the sharp-eyed waiter who took action.
