The Jamestown, North Dakota police department is investigating four claims that women were victims of a date rape drug. Two of those claims were found to have involved no date rape drug.
HERE IS THE NEWS STORY:
No Arrests in Date-Rape Drug Investigation
By Lynn Hopewell, News DirectorJan 2, 2009, 13:17
JAMESTOWN- Rumors circulating in the community for the last two weeks of the arrest of an individual connected to alleged date-rape drug assaults in the Jamestown area are totally false.
That from Jamestown Police Chief David Donegan in a telephone interview with KSJB/KSJZ on Friday morning.
Chief Donegan says the rumors stem from a phone call placed to police in mid-December. At that time, a woman who suspects she was the victim of a date-rape drug in February stated that she had been told a Jamestown man had been arrested in connection with the case. She mentioned a specific individual during her inquiry. An investigator informed her that no arrests had been made and the investigation was continuing.
Donegan emphasized in his remarks that police never used the name of the individual mentioned in the rumor and that person had never been the subject of the investigation. The name came from the woman caller who made the inquiry.
Donegan went on to say that four alleged incidents in which area women believed they were possibly given a date-rape drug were under investigation. In two of the incidents investigators have concluded no drug was involved. The remaining two incidents remain under investigation.
Chief Donegan again asked area residents to use caution when indulging in alcholic beverages.
Never leave your drink unattended and never accept a drink or open container from someone you are not familiar with.
Women's safey groups often recommend that people out for an evening of entertainment use a buddy system, teaming up with one or more friends to help look out for each other.

The drug the police are looking for is alcohol (which is usually taken willingly by 'the victim').
It lowers sexual inhibitions, and you often forget everything that happened the previous night.
Steve, you are correct, but to conclude that, you would have to actually hold the women involved.....wait for it.....wait for it....
"Responsible". And god forbid that women are truly held accountable for thier decisions.
I've got to wonder how a lot of women don't have thier heads explode from the cognitive dissonance from claiming that women are "empowered and strong and capable", and yet claim vicitim status so often. You can't be both all the time.
Wolfboy, please contact us at falserapesociety@yahoo.com -- could use your help with something. Thanks.
done
Hope you don't mind, but I've got a special note to send:
Kiboko over on feministing: Glad I'm your favorite. Is there a problem with my blog handle? When you actually have something of substance to say, drop by, actually post something in a counter argument, and we'll chat. I do have a question for you...why all the name calling on that site (I won't link it)...I thought women were the kinder/gentler sex? Not so much? Or just hypocrites? Have a great day.
It seems she has a problem with me. Not sure why. As far as I know, never talked (Typed?) anything to or about her before. Maybe it is because showing the truth of just how many false claims of rape are out there, it is making feminists uncomfortable.
Sad, really. You would think that the feminist movement would be interested in eliminating false claims. Then the true victims of rape wouldn't be looked at with a jaundiced eye. And true rape victims do need our assistance and understanding. But I guess there are those who just fail to grasp that not all men are rapists. Are their husbands/sons/fathers all rapists? Somehow, I doubt it.
