A male University of Michigan student claims he was sexually assaulted after he was unknowingly slipped a “benzo” date-rape drug at a party, according to a report.

The victim told campus police he could hardly remember what happened the night of April 11, when he and his friends were walking and got chatted up by two college-age men around 10 p.m., MLive in Michigan reported.

The pair invited the group to a house party on Fletcher Street in Ann Arbor, where the student was given a soft drink mixed with alcohol.

He woke up the next day with a foggy memory — and injuries consistent with being sexually assaulted, he told police.

The victim tested positive for benzodiazepine, a powerful sedative known as a “benzo” and commonly used as a date-rape drug.

The first suspect went by the name “Darnell” and was described as a black male about 21 or 22 years old, between 6 feet 1 and 6 feet 2, with a solid build and dark, clear complexion. He has short, dark hair and a well-formed beard on his chin and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a dark jacket.

The second suspect, who went by the name “Sam,” is a white male, 21 or 22 years old, 5 feet 9 or 5 feet 10 with a thin build, blond hair parted on the left with a swoop and a clean-shaven face. He was wearing bright green basketball shoes.
