Rape urban myth Drug-rapes
- Taranaki Hysteria December 2006 |
|
The Rape Crisis organisation says
drug-rape in New Zealand could be more widespread than previously thought. Two weeks ago nine women in
Taranaki came forward to say they had been drug-raped. Now Hawera Rape Crisis, which runs
a nationwide call centre, has received calls from another 23 victims who have
rung in because of the publicity. The Rape Crisis national
spokesperson, Andrea Black, says the calls may be just the tip of the
iceberg. She's urging people to come
forward and seek professional help if they think they've been raped,
especially if they have any injuries or memory blanks. |
