"It's never your fault" - Spiking victim from University of Birmingham raising awareness after being spiked
It left Saraya Haddad not remembering the following 13 hours after it happened.
"It's never your fault" - that's according to a university of Birmingham student who was spiked in 2019.
Saraya Haddad didn't remember anything from the 13 hours after she was spiked.
It comes after the King has passed a new law in his recent speech to criminalise spiking as an offence.
Spiking is already a crime in the UK. Labour's election manifesto said however, that making it more specific would help police when responding to reports.
The King's new law to make spiking a criminal offence is 'good progress' according to Saraya who had only had 3 drinks one evening with a meal before performing a Shakespearean play with friends.
Charities like Stamp Out Spiking have advise online about how to prevent it like using cup lids, colour changing nail varnish and special drinking straws.
But Saraya's told us that despite being told ways we can prevent it from happening, it's still too easy for people to take advantage.
"There's a lot of misconceptions about spiking in terms of, people will say, well you need to hold on to your drink at all times, but I did and I still got spiked. I don't know, maybe it was the bartender, you never know. It literally takes seconds.
"It's really opened my eyes to just how easy it is, how it can happen to anyone. You could order any drink, you could order water and they could spike it, that's a misconception."
Saraya's now trying to raise awareness ahead of freshers week coming up in September with a play she's written based on her experience.
She's performing it at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this month.
