A new kind of drug that could be used by date rapists has been spotted for the first time in a UK nightclub.

Oxycodone is a painkiller which is only available on prescription according to experts monitoring the nightclub scene.

It is a powerful sedative and could be used for drug-assisted sexual assault.

Unlike the well-known date rape drug Rohypnol, it does not cause memory loss, but it could make someone suddenly very drowsy.

Oxycodone is a big problem in the United States and we have been expecting it over here. Now it has appeared.
