French senator Joel Guerriau was taken into police custody Friday on suspicion of drugging an MP with a view to assaulting her.
Prosecutors and sources familiar with the case told the French press agency AFP that Guerriau, a centrist senator from western France, was being held for “administering to a person, against their knowledge, a substance that could alter their discernment or the control of their actions in order to commit a rape or sexual assault”.
