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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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, 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 that’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.

        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?

            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.

              I understand that France is not Spanish.

              what I said was that those words are not bad word in their own language and we should not ban words because of anther country’s fucked up society.

              also good for Brazilians for changing that and using another word for it because that word has intimatecultural roots in their country (biggest slave population was not USA but Brazil (almost half of them)). so Brazil (if they want to) can use that word. but spain doesnt have to. (but it can of course do so).

          Check my original reply to the guy. Black in french is NOIR. His last name is straight up the french N word, we have that too, we are perfectly capable of being racists. The rest of the world can be racist without the input of the US.

      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.

        Yeah, no.

        Police abuse INCIDENTS happen all over the world, yes, but the US police forces are the only ones (in Democratic countries anyways) where abuse isnjist standard operating procedure.

        Other countries too may have incidents with rape and abuse and abuse of minors, but again, the US seems to have made all that a past time hobby of sorts. I recall a sub reddit specifically for posts about Republican government employees at all levels being child rapists. There were daily posts.

        The world can’t really hold a candle to the USA in that matter

        Also not in school shootings, come to think of it

        Or just shootings in general

          I’m not talking about school shootings or police forces.

          There are many rapists in positions of power around the world. Rape is about power. And people who seek positions of power often abuse those positions.

          We live in a world dictated by patriarchy. This is a symptom.

        Not anywhere near as much as in the USA. Nor as high up, like at the very top level of elected politicians.

        There may be some fucked up inbred royalty in Europe, and the French have always been kinda rape-y, but even this guy is just a civil servant and not an elected politician. There is no European or Asian Epstein level scandal that I have ever heard of. Have you? Strong accusations require strong evidence. Until that it’s just conspiracy theory.

            And they still aren’t elected. Nor are they politicians. Nor do they actually run a country.

                This doesn’t happen unless the culture is permissive of it.

                More general statements that don’t mean anything, still not even weak evidence for your strong accusation.

                The entirety of this paragraph is dismissive. You clearly haven’t lived in the world as a woman to be perfectly honest.

                Aaaand more logical fallacies. You clearly haven’t got any evidence for whatever claim you’re making, to be perfectly honest.

                Civil servants literally work for the government.

                Still not a politician. Still not elected. You elected the Epstein class into power. That hasn’t happened in the rest of the world. Period (to quote you).

                say that this guy was allowed to operate like this for decades but it’s not a reflection of the government or the country is wild.

                No. Tripling down on a statement and attacking someone who disagrees with you over some conspiracy theory that you can’t back up for the life of you is what’s wild.

        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.
