Ellen Baldwin believes she was spiked with a needle at a nightclub last month. The 19-year-old Criminology student and her friend were taken to A&E after completely blacking out and collapsing. But Ellen said she was told by medics that she would 'have to come back when she was sober'. Here, in her own words, the Keele University student opens up to OK! magazine about her terrifying experience in Stoke-in-Trent in a bid to raise awareness of spiking. A doctor also advises on what to do if this happens to you...
“The night started out at the Student Union bar, but it was boring so we decided to go to a nightclub.
We’ve been there a few times so I felt perfectly comfortable walking in with my friends, including my boyfriend, Aedan, 20, who’s also a student.
