GHB

Alaska -- A female student was slipped a predatory drug at the UAF Pub and then sexually assaulted last month.

The student reported the incident on September 14 to the university police, who believe that the drug was administered while the victim was at the campus bar.

A sexual assault kit and a blood test for drugs in her system found evidence of GHB and rape, police said.

GHB, according to the RAINN Web site, is most commonly found in the form of a clear, odorless liquid. It can also be white powder.

In 2000, the DEA, along with state and local law enforcement agencies, seized 17 GHB laboratories in the United States, 10 of which were located in California, according to the Doris Tate Crime Victims Bureau (DTCVB) Web site.

Also according to the DTCVB, in 1999, drug facilitated sexual assault cases increased to nearly 23 percent of all sexual assault cases. Females made up 97 percent of the victims, the bureau says.
