Feed diuretics to 200 interviewees to induce urine mistakes...a high-ranking government official's shock

Local media, including Le Monde, reported that Christian Negr, a former high-ranking French culture minister, is under formal investigation over the allegations.
The police secured a computer file titled 'Experiments' written by Negr, and the date, dosage, and response of women were recorded in it. The victims complained of tremors, dizziness and humiliation, and some even went through a situation where they couldn't hold their urine in public and wet their clothes.
In fact, in 2015, a marketing expert was walking around the park with Negr during an interview and asked to go to the bathroom, but was denied. In the end, he lowered himself in a dark place in the park and had no choice but to pee, and Negr pretended to cover her with a coat.
Another applicant said Negr looked straight in the eye and "Are you going to pee?He testified that he ignored going to the bathroom after asking the question, and eventually wet his clothes on the stairs of the cafe. Another woman also claimed that she almost fainted while conducting an interview because she was not allowed to go to the bathroom for two hours.
The incident came to light in 2018 when Negr was reported to a colleague while trying to secretly film the legs of a female senior civil servant.
Since then, the police have identified drug-based sexual violence patterns and launched an investigation, but it has been sluggish since Negr was dismissed from public office in 2019.
The lawyers of the victims criticized "What he did was not just a sexual illusion, but an act of power to dominate and humiliate a woman's body." The lawyers also pointed out that the six-year delay in the trial aggravates the victims' suffering, saying it is a `secondary damage.' Some women received compensation from the state through civil lawsuits, but the Ministry of Culture's own responsibility was not recognized.
In addition, the civil service union claimed that the ministry neglected Negr even though there were already reports that he was photographing women's legs during the meeting.
