Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions there have been for administering date rape drugs in each of the last five years.

The number of offenders found guilty of “administering a substance with intent” in England and Wales, from 2013 to 2017 can be found in the Experimental statistics: Principal offence proceedings and outcomes by Home Office offence data tool in the annual criminal justice statistics publication, linked below.

From the detailed offence drop down box, select ‘Administer substance with intent to stupefy or overpower to engage in sexual activity’:

The total number of prosecutions and convictions may be higher as the data only shows the principle offence.

Court proceedings data, including findings of guilt for this offence, for 2018 are planned for publication on 16 May 2019.
