A: Very sorry to hear you were treated this way. You should contact a local attorney that specializes in cases of Sexual harassment. If you have a claim against a government agency you have a short period of time to bring an administrative claim, the attorney will know what to do.

A: Most California criminal statutes require that the accused had criminal specific intent when committing a crime. If you were involuntarily intoxicated due to a date rape drug, then that is a valid defense against almost every type of criminal charge.
