Not really new, but its unpopular. This is actually because it is rendered illegal by some countries. Rohypnol is a drug that is dangerous. When consumed, it takes some few minutes for the person to become weak and unstable. Sadly, rapists and armed robbers have started using it to attack people. One other deadly thing you must know about Rohypnol is that it causes memory loss, if a Molester uses it on a girl and finally Molests her, she may never remember anything that happened again, therefore, she cannot provide any useful information for investigation. Rohypnol also prevents pregnancy, research shows that girls who repeatedly consume Rohypnol may not be able to bear children.
MORE INFO ON ROHYPNOL
Rohypnol is a brand name for flunitrazepam (a benzodiazepine), a very potent tranquilizer similar in nature to valium (diazepam), but many times stronger. The drug produces a sedative effect, amnesia, muscle relaxation, and a slowing of psychomotor responses. Sedation occurs 20-30 minutes after administration and lasts for several hours. The drug is often distributed on the street in it's original "bubble packaging" which adds an air of legitimacy and makes it appear to be legal.
It is known by several street names: Roachies, La Roche, Rope, Rib, Roche, Rophies, Roofies, Ruffies, Mexican valium, or the "forget (me) pill." Rohypnol is especially dangerous because it is inexpensive; a tablet may cost $1 to $5. This makes it popular in high schools, college campuses, clubs, bars, and at private parties.
Rohypnol became (in) famous because it can cause memory "blackouts," periods of memory loss that follow ingestion of the drug with alcohol. Victims who have been Molested with Rohypnol have report waking up in strange rooms, with or without clothing, sometimes with a used condom on the bed, occasionally with bruises on their body... but they have no memory of the previous night.

Alot of people may have heard the name, but they havent seen it and they don't know how it looks like. Besides, if you read the complete article, you will discover that it has many names and different kinds of packaging which make it impossible for most people to spot it out.
