Reports of sexual assault involving incapacitating substances have reached a ten-year high, with 317 cases documented in 2024, a significant increase from previous years. The Association of Centers for Assistance to Survivors of Sexual Assault also noted a 30% rise in reports of sexual harm among adolescents in schools and a 50% increase in workplace-related cases. Despite over 51,000 inquiries to assistance centers, authorities have been criticized for failing to provide comprehensive data, with 81% of sex-offense cases closed without indictment. Leaders from survivor advocacy organizations have condemned the lack of government transparency and called for urgent reforms in schools and law enforcement to better protect survivors and prevent further harm.
