For as far as I know, Rohypnol wouldn't be used ALONE as a recreational drug, since you will forget everithing about the experience you had while using it. But, if the hospital records doesn't show other drugs in the tests they did, it could be supposed that other drugs were present, so in either case you're right.
This doesn't change the fact of being known as a rape drug, and that it's hard to believe an otherwise non drug user would start on recreational drugs chosing to use Rohypnol. Moreover, the FDA forbid Rohypnol in hte USA because of it use as a rape drug, and not because it could be used as recreational drug (if so, many, many drugs that alter the behavior or perception, requiring a recipe to be bought -as Rohypnol required when it was legal- would be forbidden as well).
I don't know enough the legal system in the USA, but I guess reporting this to the police, without further evidence, wouldn't trigger an investigation nor lead to prosecution, but several reports may help to build a case. We don't even know if the police is gathering information about this very abuser and they're waiting for more people to report something like this, and this will remain unknown until reporting what happend.
In any case, I believe that asking a lawyer about these issues is advisable.
