“Alcohol and drugs are frequently used by perpetrators to facilitate the commission of sexual assault crimes.

Ingestion of alcohol and/or substances prior to the commission of sexual assault crimes tends to “co-occur” with both the perpetrator and the victim.  It is not uncommon for perpetrators to ply their victims with alcohol and/or substances to make it easier for them to commit the crime of sexual assault.”
