English: It's an absolute pleasure to take part in this important and pertinent debate this afternoon. I'm pleased that the issue of spiking has finally gained mainstream media attention because the scourge has existed for many years, but thankfully there has been an increase in awareness in recent months. I'm therefore grateful to my colleague and party for tabling this debate today, but I do however take issue with Plaid Cymru's amendment to the motion. While it's true that the majority of spiking attacks are against women, one in four of those attacks are against men and that was how Britain's most prolific rapist, Reynhard Sinaga, attacked his victims. Thankfully, Sinaga is behind bars, serving a 40-year sentence for carrying out 159 sexual assaults. Sadly, far too many attacks, whether it's men or women, either go unreported or fail to result in any prosecutions at all. In my policing area in north Wales, there were only 18 reports and zero arrests last year. We have to get the message out to victims of this insidious crime that it's okay to report spiking, it is a crime, and you shouldn't be embarrassed to report it. I am sympathetic to the Welsh Government's stance that the focus should be on holding the perpetrators to account, but the people who carry out these crimes are twisted individuals who have become very good at evading the attentions of the criminal justice system. I'm grateful that the Home Secretary is taking this issue seriously and look forward to seeing an increase in prosecutions. However, we also have a duty to raise awareness of this crime. We all have a role to play in tackling the scourge of spiking, and I urge the Welsh Government to work with operators in the night-time economy on measures to protect patrons and to raise awareness around spiking. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding this issue. We've all seen the infographics doing the rounds on social media, warning us to look out for things like change in colour or sinking ice. Where it might be the case in some circumstances, it's often impossible to tell if a drink has been spiked with chemicals or, indeed, additional alcohol. The only way to ensure that your drink hasn't been spiked is for it never to leave your sight, but we all know that isn't practical. We therefore need to work with the industry to look at alternative solutions for drink security. Others have mentioned stop tops and other such methods. There have also been trials of drinks lockers, a way of securing your drink while you visit the bathroom or the dancefloor - the latter part of that would be my preference on a night out. And whatever steps we take, the most important one will be awareness, and we all have a duty to ensure that we are vigilant, for us to make it impossible for the despicable creatures who seek to drug others to carry out their horrendous crimes. Let us stand up, take action and prevent any further young women and men from becoming victims. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Mae'n bleser cymryd rhan yn y ddadl bwysig a pherthnasol hon y prynhawn yma. Rwy'n falch fod sbeicio wedi cael sylw yn y cyfryngau prif ffrwd o'r diwedd gan fod y malltod wedi bodoli ers blynyddoedd lawer, ond diolch byth mae ymwybyddiaeth ohono wedi codi yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf. Felly, rwy'n ddiolchgar i fy nghyd-Aelod a fy mhlaid am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon heddiw, ond rwy'n anghytuno â gwelliant Plaid Cymru i'r cynnig. Er ei bod yn wir fod y rhan fwyaf o ymosodiadau sbeicio yn erbyn menywod, mae un o bob pedwar o'r ymosodiadau hynny yn erbyn dynion a dyna sut yr ymosododd treisiwr gwaethaf Prydain o ran nifer ei droseddau, Reynhard Sinaga, ar ei ddioddefwyr. Diolch byth, mae Sinaga yn y carchar, wedi'i ddedfrydu i 40 mlynedd am gyflawni 159 o ymosodiadau rhywiol. Yn anffodus, mae llawer gormod o ymosodiadau, yn erbyn dynion neu fenywod, naill ai heb eu cofnodi neu heb arwain at unrhyw erlyniadau o gwbl. Yn fy ardal heddlu yng ngogledd Cymru, dim ond 18 o adroddiadau a gafwyd y llynedd ac ni chafodd neb eu harestio. Mae'n rhaid inni gyfleu'r neges i ddioddefwyr y drosedd lechwraidd hon ei bod yn iawn iddynt roi gwybod am achosion o sbeicio, mae'n drosedd, ac ni ddylech fod â chywilydd ei hadrodd. Rwy'n cydymdeimlo â safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru y dylai'r ffocws fod ar ddwyn troseddwyr i gyfrif, ond mae'r bobl sy'n cyflawni'r troseddau hyn yn unigolion gwyrdröedig sy'n dda iawn am osgoi sylw'r system cyfiawnder troseddol. Rwy'n ddiolchgar fod yr Ysgrifennydd Cartref o ddifrif ynglŷn â'r mater ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld cynnydd yn nifer yr erlyniadau. Fodd bynnag, mae gennym ddyletswydd hefyd i godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r drosedd. Mae gan bob un ohonom ran i'w chwarae yn ymladd malltod sbeicio, ac rwy'n annog Llywodraeth Cymru i weithio gyda gweithredwyr economi'r nos ar fesurau i ddiogelu cwsmeriaid ac i godi ymwybyddiaeth o sbeicio. Yn anffodus, ceir llawer o gamwybodaeth ynghylch y mater hwn. Rydym i gyd wedi gweld y ffeithluniau ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol, yn ein rhybuddio i gadw llygad am bethau fel newid lliw neu rew'n suddo. Er y gallai fod yn wir mewn rhai amgylchiadau, mae'n aml yn amhosibl dweud a yw diod wedi'i sbeicio â chemegau, neu alcohol ychwanegol yn wir. Yr unig ffordd o sicrhau nad yw eich diod wedi'i sbeicio yw drwy beidio â'i adael o'ch golwg o gwbl, ond rydym i gyd yn gwybod nad yw hynny'n ymarferol. Felly, mae angen inni weithio gyda'r diwydiant i edrych ar atebion eraill ar gyfer diogelwch diodydd. Mae eraill wedi sôn am gaeadau a dulliau tebyg. Cafwyd treialon gyda loceri diodydd hefyd, sef ffordd o ddiogelu eich diod pan ewch i'r ystafell ymolchi neu at y llawr dawnsio - yr ail fyddai fy newis i ar noson allan. A pha gamau bynnag a gymerwn, y pwysicaf fydd codi ymwybyddiaeth, ac mae gan bob un ohonom ddyletswydd i sicrhau ein bod yn wyliadwrus, er mwyn ei gwneud yn amhosibl i'r creaduriaid ffiaidd sy'n ceisio drygio eraill er mwyn gallu cyflawni eu troseddau erchyll. Gadewch inni weithredu ac atal unrhyw fenywod a dynion ifanc eraill rhag dod yn ddioddefwyr. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
