Beware of knockout drops: what you need to know

He is probably just the tip of the iceberg: the Frenchman (71) who drugged his own wife and offered her to strangers for rape. For years, the woman had memory lapses and health problems - without knowing why. More and more women - and men - are apparently experiencing something similar here in Germany: through knockout drops.

The ongoing trial against Dominique P. (71) in Avignon, France, shows all the cruelties: Investigators had found footage of 200 rapes of P.'s ex-wife Gisèle - committed by him as well as strange men. Gisèle had insisted on a public trial, saying she wanted "a complete, total publicity" on behalf of all those people who feel the same way - and who may not even know about it yet.

But what does it look like in this country, could something like this also happen here? Definitely yes, if you ask around.
