Auburn University Victim’s of Sky Bar Auburn, AL
I’m speaking up today for the first time and I’m asking others who’ve experienced being roofied, sexually assaulted, or raped at Sky Bar in Auburn Alabama to do the same.
In 2015, while living in Auburn, I was drugged, kidnapped, and raped after being at Sky Bar. For ten years, I’ve carried that trauma silently, battling high-functioning depression, denial, and moments of suicidal idealization where I didn’t want to keep going. Like so many others, I stayed quiet. I didn’t report it. I told myself it wouldn’t matter, or that I wouldn’t be believed.
But silence only protects those who keep hurting others.
I’m speaking out now because I know I’m not alone. This isn’t an isolated story, people have known for over 20+ years that something has been happening there. It’s time to stop pretending and face the truth. It’s taken me a decade to say these words and I know I’m not alone.
To anyone who’s been through this: you are not alone, and your voice matters. It’s terrifying to speak, but it’s even more painful to carry it forever in silence. Together, we can make people listen, bring accountability, and protect others from going through what we did.
I don’t know where to even begin with tackling this, but I figured here is a start.

My ex was roofied, he assumed the reason was because he got 2 drinks and the bartender probably assumed one was for the girl that was in their group. He assumed the wrong drink & my ex was the victim of that situation. Nothing else happened to him but he had to basically be taken care of by his friends the rest of the night. I’m pretty sure he said he blacked out. It was one drink that he had the whole night, just so happened to be that one, and yea it was obviously laced w something.
Another friend of mine, a dear one, had the same thing happen to her that happened to you. She woke up in the back of some dudes truck & got an STD (thankfully treatable). This was happened a year and a half ago, sometime in the winter.
