And the Swiss ex politician who is alleged to have drugged and raped a mother and her daughter (14 at the time) and filmed them.
I started a thread on this utterly appalling case but nobody seemed interested. 😢

I’d not heard of that case, those poor women. It’s terrifying.

The Pelicot case in France
Another French case - Jean-Pierre Marechal
Philip Young - UK
Unnamed Manchester man - UK case ongoing
Unnamed Austrian man - case ongoing.
There's also the Darren Conway case which is slightly different but equally abhorrent. Another 8 men have apparently been arrested in relation.

And of course each of these cases involves multiple perpetrators.

It’s unspeakable.

I feel sick to my stomach seeing this, the men who women might imagine they are safe with are again so often the most dangerous. I have no words or reason to bring to this conversation at all, only that it seems women can never really trust any man fully and must always be on guard. Profoundly sad tonight to see so many women suffer at the hands of men who supposedly love them.

There is also the Reynhard Sinaga case, although not exactly the same. That was a man on men and one off rapes.
I remember that case vividly because it was very local to me and I followed the media and Reddit posts a lot. Then the Gisele Pelicot case came out and I followed that a lot too. My male friend didn't even know about that when we saw her book in the shop!
It's the same with the posts on Bonnie Blue and the baby. 90% of people calling it out for being wrong are woman. The other 10% are men and either calling her a sl*g (not the point being made) or the minority saying that children shouldn't be sexualised. Nothing about the men in the video or those watching it either.

Honestly, men are just gross and they scare me more every day.

Awful. How do they get their hands on drugs that knock people out to that extent?

This is what I don't understand

You don’t understand how people procure illegal drugs? Have you been to any city in the UK recently? I could drive 30 minutes from my house and buy anything I wanted, probably for less than £50.

I think a large section of the population wouldn't know where to buy drugs to knock someone out. I'd have no idea. It's not like it's on Google maps and I don't know anyone I could ask.

But if you were part of that network you would know

Am I missing another thread on this elsewhere? Because I find it…I don’t know…sad…..that only 30 odd people have commented on it.

Worthless male scum who should never have been brought into the world.

Not all men do it - but all men benefit.

I assumed they were prescription drugs obtained by deceit. I thought that was Mr Pelicot's modus operandi

If the drugs in this case were obtained ilegally for such a long period of time then I'm assuming the man is being tried for that too?

Granted it was posted in Craicnet but still…
