Multiple reports describe criminal attacks in which ketamine is allegedly used to drug victims. The Daily Mail frames the issue around claims of a “new” and relatively inexpensive ketamine strain, and links the drugs to assaults on women. The coverage also includes first-person accounts from victims describing how their lives change after an abusive incident, including cases where victims report long-term effects after the assault. One example cited is a woman who says her partner left her for another woman, after which she describes a deterioration in her life. Across the accounts, the common elements are allegations that ketamine is used as part of an attack process and that victims experience severe, lasting consequences. The articles present these stories as illustrative of broader concerns about drug-facilitated sexual or violent assaults, while emphasizing the personal impact on those affected. However, the provided excerpts do not include details such as the number of cases, locations, confirmed laboratory testing of substances, or judicial outcomes.
