The Men Who Drug Their Wives

We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions.In March 2026, a CNN investigation exposed a global network of men teaching each other how to drug and assault their wives and partners. This episode examines what the investigation uncovered, why this keeps happening, and what women need to know.We discuss the infrastructure enabling this violence — from pornographic platforms hosting thousands of “sleep” videos to Telegram groups where men trade advice on dosages and detection avoidance. We hear from three survivors who discovered their husbands had been drugging and assaulting them for years.But this isn’t just about individual perpetrators. This episode maps the systems that make this possible: platforms that profit from illegal content, police who dismiss survivors, laws that fail to protect women at home, and a culture that still treats women’s bodies as accessible to their husbands.We also address what needs to change — at the platform level, in law enforcement, in legal systems, and in how we raise the next generation.Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of drug-facilitated sexual assault and violence against women.Resources:US National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673 or RAINN.orgInternational directories: UN Women, The Pixel ProjectSupport the show-----------------------------------On Overnight Wisdom, new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.Streaming & Social LinksVisit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSzApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rssConnect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/
