MALIBU, CALIFORNIA: The first time Paris Hilton had a sexual encounter, she was physically assaulted by an older man. For the first time, Hilton has opened up about how she was abused when she was 15 years old with the date rape medication Rohypnol.
Prior to the release of her memoir, 'Paris: The Memoir', Hilton claimed in an interview with Glamour Magazine that her first sexual encounter was consensual and took place when she was 15 years old. Hilton, now 42, claimed the abuser was an older man she met at a local mall in California who reportedly put something into her drink and took advantage of her. She was at the time residing in Palm Springs with her maternal grandmother. She shared that she would go to Los Angeles "almost every weekend" to meet her friends and hang out at the Westfield Century City mall. She stated that she and her friends would "talk to [older] guys who would always just be hanging around the stores" and "give them [their] beeper [pager] numbers."

'I have visions of him on top of me'
Hilton recalled one interaction with the "older guys" in which they invited them to their home and served them berry wine coolers. She said, "I had maybe one or two sips, I just immediately started feeling dizzy and woozy. I don't know what he put in there, I'm assuming it was a roofie [sleeping pill Rohypnol]."
The new mother claimed that after passing out, she understood that something had happened when she woke up a few hours later. She said, "I remembered it. I have visions of him on top of me, covering my mouth, being like, 'You're dreaming, you're dreaming,' and whispering that in my ear."
'It scared me and freaked me out'
The incident was before the troubled teen's two or more years in a number of pricey behavioral modification facilities, such as Utah's Provo Canyon School, where she alleged she was force-fed pills and endured late-night gynecological exams. MEAWW previously reported that Hilton made the decision to be transparent about these incidents because she believed that doing so would "heal & help put an end to this abuse."

Hilton also revealed in the interview with Glamour Magazine that when she was only 19 years old and attending the Cannes Film Festival in 2000, Harvey Weinstein chased her into a bathroom. "I went into the bathroom and then he followed me. He tried to open the door, he was hammering on the door, banging on it. It scared me and freaked me out," she stated.
