What a terrible day to be literate. Why am I not surprised to read that he is a conservative 🙄

I’m mostly impressed that he targeted an mp for it. Like there’s stupid and then there’s attempting to rape an elected official stupid

Idk, they represent a country democratically, so i guess its only fitting that there are many idiots or people like that...

That's true but druggings happen a lot and rapes as well. Its just not going to the big news usually.

TBH as much of a shitheel asshat as the guy is, he’s also a decently accurate representation of one of the various segments on the lower half of the American bell curve.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A French senator has been arrested and questioned by police on suspicion of drugging a member of parliament with the intent to rape or sexually assault her.

Joël Guerriau, 66, a centre-right politician of Les Indépendants, was arrested this week at his Paris home, which was searched along with his office.

The French prosecutor’s office told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that Guerriau, a senator for Loire-Atlantique, was being questioned over “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”.

AFP reported that the woman who filed the police complaint was a member of the lower house of parliament, the Assemblée Nationale, but she has not been named and the prosecutor’s office has not given any information about her.

Guerriau, a banker, was elected to the senate in 2011 and is vice-president of its foreign affairs, defence and armed forces commission.

Drai expressed his anger that elements of the inquiry had appeared in the French media, and said he would give “no information” on the case “out of respect” for his client and the woman who filed the complaint.
