Two women have filed a lawsuit, claiming they were drugged and raped by employees of one of the hottest restaurant/bars in Hollywood -- The Abbey.

The club has been a fixture in West Hollywood for more than 15 years.  According to the lawsuit ... a gay woman who says she had never had sexual relations with a man was at The Abbey with her girlfriend in November, 2011.  She says she and her GF had a fight, which upset the alleged victim.  She ordered a drink at the bar and claims it was laced with a date rape drug. 

The woman then claims she became impaired and a busboy allegedly took her outside and raped her.

Another woman -- who is straight...

Women raped in Hollywood, the moral capital of the U.S.? What a surprise!

Actually it is a surprise because The Abbey is in West Hollywood West, only 3 blocks from Beverly Hills, and the area is very, very gay. It’s like the epi-center of gay. So actually, a heterosexual rape is a little startling. This is one area women generally feel pretty safe.

I suspect the key here is "undocumented worker".

[A_perfect_lady]

Agreed.

[Jyotishi]

Who knows how many unreported rapes take place in Hollywood, and the rest of Los Angeles.

Anyone who is in the scene’ here in L.A. knows that the Abbey caters to faggots and TMZ wanna-be celeb, social climbers. Emphasis on the fags as the area is pro-homo. Well...anything in West Hollywood is.

Stay home where it is safe.

Pure Obama country in other words.

Not to worry, they drive a Prius and care about the earth.

TMZ wanna-be celeb...

What's that? Someone who wants to get their pic in TMZ?

“What’s that? Someone who wants to get their pic in TMZ?”

Yeah. Not only that. The so-called “wanna be’s” with no talent, like entourage, yet brain-dead. Let’s say Lindsey Lohan walks in, these posers approach her and try to mix in with her circle then call TMZ for a price.

Women may feel safe there, but it is all perception. The idea that women are safer in an area dedicated to perversion and hedonism is asinine beyond the pale.
