She felt uncomfortable telling Nègre that she wanted return to the office to use the toilet, so told him she was cold as an excuse to go back to the building. But she says he walked away, guiding them towards the banks of the River Seine, so she told him she needed to find a toilet urgently.

"He looked me right in the eye and said, 'Oh, do you need a wee?'

"I felt like a child. I thought it was really weird the way he looked at me, almost gleeful."

She says he directed her to the door of a storage cupboard under a bridge on the Seine and said: "You can do it here."

Now, Anaïs is one of nearly 250 women who believe Nègre drugged them in alleged incidents between 2009 and 2018, subjecting them to what is known as chemical submission, where drugs are used to gain control over someone.

Anaïs says police told her they found a spreadsheet of the alleged victims on Nègre's computer, entitled Experiments P, which was how they found her.

The document, she says, noted the time the women arrived for their interviews, when the diuretic was administered, how long it took before they urinated, and what underwear they were wearing.

What the actual fuck

    I'm not downplaying what these women went through, it's just such a weird abuse.

    She says Nègre told her that he knew of a public toilet nearby, but when they arrived at the location there was no toilet.

    "I was really starting to suffer… pains to the point that I was white, pale, I had tears streaming down," she says.

    Marie-Hélène says she had no choice but to urinate in public. She says Nègre offered to shield her with his jacket.

    "I was terribly embarrassed," she says. "He didn't take his eyes off me."

    Marie-Hélène says that for years she felt ashamed.

    Like Anaïs, she was also contacted by police who told her she was among Nègre's alleged victims. "It was a very big shock," she adds.

    Like with most rapists, it's all about power and control and humiliation.

    People outside of the US love to sneer and look down on us for electing a rapist pedophile. It's the entire fucking world that is run by rapists like these.

    It is now 15 years since Anaïs's encounter with Nègre and seven years since she first spoke to police.

    Like many of the other accusers, she is frustrated at the length of time it is taking for Nègre's case to come to court.

    Meanwhile, the alleged perpetrator has continued to work in human resources, according to Fondation des Femmes, a women's rights group that is supporting about 30 of the women affected.

    He still works in HR as well.

    Capitalism is designed to favor the cluster b people. Narcissists, psychopaths and the like. The easiest way to the top is to backstab your way up. It's only natural that they end up concentrated at the top.

    Yeah, individual offenders aren’t the problem it’s the systems of power that let them offend like this that are the problem.

    Feels a bit dismissive to put in this community though.

    It's just a case of a horrible piece of shit abusing people just because he can, there's nothing oniony about it.

    The main cartoony or oniony aspect imo comes from police discovering a spreadsheet of victims called "Experiments P". Some Snidely Whiplash levels of cartoon villain.

    Since that's the only thing though, I'm inclined to agree with you.

    That man has a wild last name. For the non french speaker : it's literally the N-word.

    Negro denotes 'black' in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the Latin word niger, meaning 'black'

    the USA slavers used the derogatory (or pejorative) diminutive (removed) to belittle and dehumanize the black slaves that Spanish and Portuguese slavers sold to them.

    the name of this monster is not weird outside of USA.

    no that’s just wrong. that word is extremely offensive in many parts of europe and in canada as well, and i don’t doubt it’s offensive in other places too. it is absolutely offensive in france (and other francophone parts of europe/america) too.

    the word negro is literally word black in those two languages.

    are you telling me that those speaking those two languages just no longer use that word?

    and as the other guy "i refuse to let American racism to ruin another thing."

    In case you didn't know, France speaks French, not Spanish or Portuguese.

    Try calling people "nègre" over here and see for yourself.

    Besides, "preto" is (AFAIK) more used than negro in Brazil. As americanised as Brazil is, I believe their own history gives them the right to adapt their own language if they wish to.

    No, the name of this monster is LITERALLY the N word, not the spanish "negro", I speak spanish as well and I am aware of how it's said. Black in french is NOIR ans that's how we call someone who's black. His last name is not the spanish negro, it is the french N word. French is my mother tongue, I think I can regognize it from spanish.

    I read this story in some french paper a few months ago, I was stunned and shocked. Can you imagine putting someone in such a position of vulnerability? Just drugging someone on its own, but then premeditating the whole walk so that there's no toilet nearby, that's some fucked up shit.

    Can we sew his pee hole closed with a rusty needle and feed him the same diuretic until he explodes?
