Shocking moment when woman is deliberately enriched in new documentary to show how dangerous it can be – revealing: ‘I have no control over my body… I would be very vulnerable’

This is the shocking moment a woman was deliberately picked on in a new Channel 4 documentary.

Kiss FM radio presenter Daisy Maskell, 23, put her body on the line to shed light on the dangers of binge drinking.

During Untold: The Truth About Spiking, streaming from today, Professor Celia Morgan – an expert in psychedelic drugs at the University of Exeter – spiked Daisy’s drink under laboratory conditions.

Professor Morgan used a limited amount of the drug to keep Daisy safe and ensure that no lasting effects would occur.

But Daisy struggled to walk without holding on to a nearby wall and admitted: ‘I have no control over my body… I would be very, very vulnerable.’

According to the programme, the number of drug spiking incidents reported to police has increased fivefold in the past five years.

Meanwhile, a peak incident was reported to the police every hour in 2022. But the percentage of reports that are investigated and lead to criminal prosecution has fallen from 4 percent in 2018 to just 0.23 percent last year.

“Celia just spiked my drink. I haven’t noticed anything yet, but the drug is about to kick in,” Daisy explained at the start of the segment.

‘This is a carefully controlled experiment. I have agreed to what is happening, and doctors are watching every step of the way to make sure I am safe.”

After drinking the spiked drink, the reporter admitted, “Right now, within the last 30 seconds, something just hit.” I feel a big difference.’

She was then seen struggling to walk in a straight line, revealing: ‘I feel really big. I’m also clinging to the wall. I don’t think I ever – sorry, it just came back to me.

“I actually don’t think I’ve ever felt as out of body as I do now, in terms of the feeling of being so out of body and so detached and detached from reality.

‘I have no control over my body at all and if I wasn’t in the situation I am in now I would be very vulnerable.’

As for why she agreed to be spiked, Daisy said, “If I can show people what it might look like if you or your friend got spiked, maybe more people will come forward, maybe more people will be believed, maybe we can do that. prevent people from getting hurt, and determine whether the law is strong enough to stop this.’

Professor Morgan added: ‘People out there are completely careless of the lives of others.

“And they have no idea what a dose is that will lead to someone’s death or permanent disability. So I find that really disturbing.”

Elsewhere in the programme, Daisy met people whose lives have been devastated by falling victim to spiking, none of whom have seen their attacker brought to justice.

She also heard from a police and crime commissioner about how her forces are focusing on prevention because it is so difficult to prove the crime under current laws, and from a lawyer who argued there is a strong case for a new law specifically to enter. making spiking illegal – both to assist police in prosecutions and to act as a specific deterrent.

The Ministry of the Interior has been tasked by parliament to write a report on the steps it has taken – or plans to take – to tackle peaks.

The report was expected in April this year. It has yet to be published six months after the deadline.

A Home Office spokesperson told UNTOLD: ‘Spiking is an abhorrent act that is already illegal and anyone who commits this crime faces ten years behind bars.

‘There has been a delay in publishing the statutory report. We aim to publish this later in the autumn.

‘We have invested [in] initiatives to tackle peak drinking, campaigns to raise awareness and training for bar staff.

‘We have rolled out spiking-specific communications and campaign activities at summer music festivals and currently at universities across the UK.’
