Quite unbelievable - but these sorts of things “never happen”….
The French civil servant who forced more than 200 women to wet themselves
Christian Nègre is accused of drugging his victims with powerful diuretics during fake interviews
Marie-Hélène Brice thought she was finally getting her life back.
Four months after the birth of her second child and unemployed, the prospect of working at France’s hallowed culture ministry was a bright one. Better still, the 2016 job interview was with Christian Nègre, a top ministry official.
“He told me we would discuss career possibilities over coffee,” says the 39-year-old.
But when he proposed a stroll by the river after she’d finished her drink, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to urinate, then excruciating pain. “I was in agony. I had tears in my eyes.”
With no toilet in sight, Mr Nègre came up with a suggestion. “I’ll hide you with my jacket.”
Crouched under his coat near the water, she lost control. “He didn’t look away,” Ms Brice says. “He looked me in the eyes.”
She apologised repeatedly. Perhaps it was childbirth, she thought. Perhaps she had done something wrong. Ashamed, she drove home in tears, convinced she had ruined her chances, and fell into depression.
Two years later, police told her she was not to blame.
Ms Brice is one of seven women who spoke to The Telegraph of the alleged abuse they suffered at the hands of Mr Nègre, a former senior civil servant and human resources director at France’s culture ministry.
Now in his 60s, he stands accused of drugging a total of 248 women between 2009 and 2018 during fake job interviews as part of a sadistic power play.
The women recounted how he would spike their coffee and tea with powerful diuretics and then take them on long walks to watch them squirm.
Police say he later recorded his observations on an Excel spreadsheet entitled “experiments”.
The apparent aim was to chart their descent into humiliation, and the moment they lost control of their bladder. He relished every detail, from the colour of their underwear to the strength of urine flow, his alleged victims told The Telegraph.
