Abstract: In recent years, the use of psychoactive substances for sexual assault has taken on a greater role. The frequency of sexual crimes associated with drug use has been called Drug Facilitated Sexual Assault (DFSA). The term used in Spain translates literally into "Chemical Submission" (Sumisión Química, SQ) and it includes all crimes related to this practice. This paper reviews the epidemiology of this type of symptoms, the main characteristics of the chemicals used and victim and aggressor’s profiles. The main signs of clinical suspicion, and the keys to the toxicology screening in case the victim presents evidence of being subject to chemical submission are also addressed.
