Millions of men visited a website 62 million times in one month to learn how to rape women while they are asleep or drugged.
Journalists went undercover on websites and chatrooms where men seek advice on how to sexually abuse and manipulate their partners.
Some websites contain so-called ‘sleep content’ – there’s more than 20,000 videos of men filming themselves lifting the closed eyelids of women to show a state of sleeping or being sedated.
Some of the ‘eyecheck’ videos gaining more than 50,000 views.
The content is often categorized with descriptive tags like ‘passedout’ and ‘eyecheck’.
In one ‘Zzz’ chat group, a user admitted to wanting to do this to his partner, but was fearful of an overdose.
One person wrote ‘Always start low. You’re thinking of a long game so if its first time isn’t enough, up the dose.’
Users sometimes livestream the abuse in real time for as little as $20 and cryptocurrency is the preferred method of payment.
One man climbed onto his clearly passed out female partner and started to hurt her. She was snoring and appeared unable to wake up.
One woman revealed her husband of 16 years used her son’s medication to rape her.
“I’ve been using our son’s sleeping medication to put in your last cup of tea at night, to tie you down, take photographs and rape you,” he told her.
