Chemical submission is more common than you think.
Chemical submission is defined by scientists as “L’administration for criminal purposes (rape, acts of pedophilia) or crimes (voluntary violence, theft) of psychoactive substances (SPA) without the victim’s knowledge or under threat“. Chemical submission is a act punishable by law in France. THE Penal Code indicated in thearticle 222-30-1 that “the fact of administering to a person, without their knowledge, a substance likely to impair their discernment or control of their actions in order to commit rape or sexual assault against them is punishable by five years’ imprisonment and a fine of €75,000. When the facts are committed on a fifteen year old minor or a particularly vulnerable person, the penalties are increased to seven years’ imprisonment and a fine of €100,000.”.
