French Civil Servant Accused of Drugging Women to Induce Urination
A senior French civil servant, Christian Nègre, is facing accusations from nearly 250 women who claim he drugged them to make them urinate on themselves between 2009 and 2018. One accuser, Anaïs de Vos, recounted an incident in July 2011 during a job interview at France's Ministry of Culture in Paris. She alleges Nègre offered her a coffee that tasted bad, and shortly after consuming about half of it, she felt weak, dizzy, and an uncontrollable urge to urinate. Nègre then allegedly directed her to a storage cupboard under a bridge on the River Seine, telling her she could urinate there. De Vos described feeling like a child and noted Nègre's 'gleeful' expression. The accusations fall under the concept of 'chemical submission,' where drugs are used to gain control over an individual, a term that gained prominence in France in 2024 with a high-profile case involving Gisele Pelicot.
