WARNING: Contains details of a report of a sexual assault
A girls' night out ended in terror for a group of young women. One was sexually assaulted in her flat and her friend was slapped by the culprit as she desperately tried to make him leave.
"We didn't order drinks, we were just dancing. My friend went over and started talking to this group of lads. She came over to us after a while, saying they'd bought us these drinks. I think they bought us a gin and tonic each. From my memory it did taste fine. I think they also got us tequila shots. We all had one each.
"This incident has made me feel very angry," she added. "It has impacted my anxiety and depression and it has been keeping me up at night. I have been having flashbacks. It has made me feel unsafe in my own home." "When we got in my friend passed out on the sofa. He was trying to speak to her and get close to her and she was clearly asleep." She and the other woman then started to dance "to make the best of the situation," she said.
"We ended up in the bathroom where he was questioning why I was angry with him. He grabbed me to show his strength. He picked me up and pushed me across the room. I then slapped him and he slapped me back across the face. At this point he started laughing. I felt so defeated. I was in tears screaming that he must go."
