Wow, this is the most WTF story I've seen in a while. This 51 year old man claimed he was raped.

The drug, Requip, has been known for years to have undesired side effects but a warning only appeared on its package insert in 2006, his lawyers said.

Warning: Drug may lead to...well, just about anything.

On first glance it sounds preposterous but it got me thinking. What if a drug really did turn off your inhibition filter, your moral compass? All kinds of craziness could ensue.
