"Date Rape Drugs are on the Rise – Despite 124 Year Sentence for Max Factor Heir - Andrew Luster

Even though convicted date rapist Andrew Luster was sentenced to 124 years in prison for drugging and raping women, the use of knock out drugs to help carry out sexual assaults is on the rise. www.CollegeSafe.com released a free guide to help you protect yourself from this growing threat.

Imagine, youre out having a drink. Halfway through your drink you start to feel really drunk. You are dizzy, light-headed and you start to loose your inhibitions. You start dancing and hanging on all the guys. You dont notice women giving you looks that could kill. And the guys are like, Hey check her out – she wants it bad!" Your drink has been spiked with gamma-hydroxybutyrate or GHB, a colorless and odorless knock out drug. Someone put it in your drink for a reason.

The next thing you remember is waking up with your face plastered against the dirty carpet of some cheap dive motel room. You are naked and cold. Your clothes are scattered around the room. You cant remember how you got there. Your head throbs and your body feels battered and bruised. You are sure that you were raped. But you dont remember. It could have been one guy or ten.

This happens every day. According to the Lifetime TV website, Hospitals are reporting a 5000% increase in GHB cases recently. Because of this, www.CollegeSafe.com is releasing a free guide on how to protect yourself, your friends and your family from date rape drugs. It is available on the internet at www.CollegeSafe.com/test .

One recent case in the news is about Andrew Luster, an heir to the Max Factor fortune. He was convicted of spiking womens drinks with GHB and then raping and sodomizing their unconscious bodies. He videotaped his sexual attacks on these women for his private viewing later on. One woman was a steady girlfriend of Mr. Luster; another was just a casual acquaintance. He was convicted of attacks on three different women, but there may have been many more. In the middle of his trial he skipped out on one million dollars in bail and left the country. He was found months later by a bounty hunter at a beach resort area in Mexico. He is now behind bars for the rest of the century.

In another case, a close friend of Francisco Guerra was happily married with two children. She attended a business conference and had a drink at the hotel bar. She felt woozy after one drink (probably spiked with GHB). She went to her hotel room and a man followed her, took her to his room and raped her. She woke up naked with three strangers and with very hazy memories of the night. She went to a doctor who tested her for drugs. He couldnt find any. (GHB is undetectable in the blood or urine after 12 hours) She went to the police who didnt believe her. She told her husband who divorced her and got custody of the kids; she ended up with a venereal disease.

Outraged, Francisco dedicated his life to finding a way to prevent drug assisted rape. With a partner and much research, they developed a drink coaster that can detect the most commonly used date rape drugs – the DrinkSafe Test Kit. Place a drop on the test areas of the coaster the spot will turn blue if date rape drugs are detected. DrinkSafe Test Kits are found at www.CollegeSafe.com .

Here are a few tips from the free guide. Always keep an eye on your food and drink when you are around strangers. Watch the bartender prepare your drink. Dont accept food or drink from strangers and if you want to double check use the DrinkSafe test kits.
