This is very scary. It's also very important info to make sure you're ALWAYS paying attention to who is handling your drink and where your drink is at ALL TIMES. PLEASE be safe!
From our friends at Philly Mag:
PHILLY MAG HAS SPOKEN WITH FIVE WOMEN, DeRussy included, who believe they were drugged at the Dolphin over the last three months. Their stories are similar. They ordered drinks. They stepped away at some point or turned their back on their glasses. And then, at some point soon thereafter, everything went blank. There are also two other women who have made the same claim, and there are reportedly more victims out there, including two men.
“I feel like this is an issue that got a lot of attention five or ten years ago, but that people have kind of forgotten about it,” one of the five women we spoke to told us. (DeRussy is the only one who allowed us to use her name.) “I wound up in a completely different part of South Philly. And I’m still unsure if I was raped.”
I know alot of people who LOVE the Dolphin in South Philly, so needless to say, it hits close to home.
“This is awful,” says Dolphin owner Avram Hornik. “We are taking this very seriously.”
