No evidence of date rape drug

Police have found no evidence date-rape drugs were used to stupefy and violate women in Taranaki late last year. In December nine women contacted Taranaki rape crisis centres alleging that they had been drugged and raped. The women were aged between 19 and 53. Three months later, Stratford CIB Detective Sergeant Darin Haenga said only two women had complained to police. Neither was found to have drugs in her system.
