French Senator Joël Guerriau is embroiled in a scandal involving allegations of drugging and attempting to sexually assault fellow politician Sandrine Josso.

Investigations revealed that Guerriau conducted online searches related to drugs and sexual assault, intensifying suspicions against him.

These searches occurred just over a month before the alleged incident, where Josso was found with a high level of ecstasy in her system after visiting Guerriau's residence.

Despite denying the allegations, Guerriau has stepped down from his Senate duties to maintain "serenity" during the ongoing investigation.

The case has highlighted the issue of chemical submission within political circles, drawing significant public and media attention.
