The National Crime Agency (NCA) and international partners are investigating a global network that helps organize the sedation and sexual assault of women.

英國國家犯罪調查局 (NCA) 與國際合作夥伴正調查一個全球網絡，該網絡協助策劃利用藥物使女性昏迷後進行性侵。

This investigation began after a 2025 journalistic report in Germany exposed an online forum dedicated to organized drug-facilitated sexual assault. Following this, the NCA discovered a global network involving more than 270 people across several continents. This digital system has changed these crimes from isolated incidents at home into a coordinated international problem. As a result, eight people have been arrested in the United Kingdom, and 14 separate investigations are currently active worldwide. To share intelligence, representatives from Europol and agencies from Brazil, Canada, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United States met in London.

此次調查始於 2025 年德國的一篇新聞報導，揭露了一個專門從事有組織藥物協助性侵的線上論壇。隨後，NCA 發現了一個橫跨數個大洲、涉及 270 多人的全球網絡。這個數位系統將這些犯罪行為從家中發生的單一事件，轉變為一個有協調的國際問題。因此，英國已有 8 人被捕，目前全球共有 14 項獨立調查正在進行。為了共享情報，來自歐洲刑警組織 (Europol) 以及巴西、加拿大、法國、匈牙利、荷蘭、西班牙和美國的代表在倫敦舉行了會議。

At the same time, survivors have started their own initiatives to fix failures in medical and legal systems. The 'End Eye Check' campaign, created by victims Zoe Watts and Amanda Stanhope, focuses on a specific method used by attackers to check if a victim is unconscious. These advocates emphasize that the presence of such content online encourages criminals and makes it harder to identify victims. Furthermore, they argue that doctors need better training to recognize the memory loss and confusion caused by sedation during sexual assault.

與此同時，倖存者已開始採取行動，以修補醫療和法律系統的缺陷。由受害者 Zoe Watts 和 Amanda Stanhope 發起的「End Eye Check」活動，專注於攻擊者用來檢查受害者是否昏迷的一種特定方法。這些倡導者強調，網上存在此類內容會鼓勵犯罪者，並增加識別受害者的難度。此外，他們主張醫生需要更好的培訓，以辨識性侵過程中因藥物昏迷而導致的記憶喪失和意識混亂。

These developments follow high-profile legal cases, such as the trial of Dominique Pelicot in France. In that case, Pelicot sedated and assaulted his wife with the help of many accomplices, which increased public awareness and led to similar cases in Germany and the Netherlands. A similar pattern has appeared in Stockport, UK, where a husband and 12 other defendants are expected to go to trial in September.

這些進展是在一系列備受關注的法律案件之後發生的，例如法國 Dominique Pelicot 的審判。在該案中，Pelicot 在多名共犯的幫助下，使用藥物使其妻子昏迷並對其進行性侵，這提高了公眾意識，並導致德國和荷蘭出現類似案件。英國 Stockport 也出現了相似模式，一名丈夫與其他 12 名被告預計將於 9 月接受審判。

Law enforcement agencies are continuing to break down the digital networks that enable these attacks, while survivors are calling for new laws to control harmful online content.

執法機關正持續摧毀使這些攻擊成為可能的數位網絡，而倖存者則呼籲制定新法律以管控有害的線上內容。
