New Miss Madison speaks out about date rape drugs

A year and a half ago, UW-Madison student Greta Hafeman spent 17 hours unconscious, the victim of a “date rape” drug. Although she was not sexually assaulted, she nonetheless felt violated. She has focused much of her free time and energy since trying to draw attention to “drug-facilitated sexual assaults.”

The 20-year-old Hafeman, who was crowned Miss Madison Saturday night, will use her new title to shine more light on the subject. She beat out four other contestants due in part to the platform she titled “Silent Crimes: Advocating Awareness for Positive Change.”
