French Senator Charged with Drugging Colleague to Commit Sexual Assault: Prosecutors

French senator Joel Guerriau has been preliminarily charged with slipping ecstasy into the drink of fellow lawmaker Sandrine Josso with the intent to sexually assault her. Guerriau, who represents the Loire-Atlantique region, was arrested after Josso filed a criminal complaint when she became ill from drinking at his home and tested positive for ecstasy. The senator is under investigation for use and possession of illicit drugs and for giving someone mind-altering drugs without their consent to commit a rape or sexual assault. Guerriau denies any intent to assault Josso and has been placed under judicial supervision.
