Civil Servant Allegedly Drugged Nearly 250 Women to Force Them to Wet Themselves During Interviews

A FORMER French civil servant is accused of forcing “more than 200” women to wet themselves during fake job interviews.

Christian Nègre is accused of drugging unsuspecting women with powerful diuretics during sham recruitment meetings.

The twisted individual would then eagerly observe – and document – their humiliation.

In 2016, Marie-Hélène Brice, then 39, was invited to what she believed was a legitimate job interview at France’s culture ministry.

“He told me we would discuss career possibilities over coffee,” she told the Telegraph .

After she finished her drink, Nègre suggested a walk along the river.

Within minutes, she was overwhelmed by a sudden, unbearable need to urinate.

“I was in agony. I had tears in my eyes,” she recalled.

With no public toilet nearby, Nègre offered to shield her behind his jacket while she relieved herself.

Instead of looking away, he watched the whole thing.

“He didn’t look away. He looked me in the eyes.” Brice said.

Humiliated and apologising repeatedly – blaming the incident on having recently given birth – she returned home in floods of tears and soon fell into a deep depression.

Two years later, police contacted her to tell her she was not to blame.

Now in his 60s, Nègre is accused of drugging 248 women between 2009 and 2018.

Investigators allege he spiked tea or coffee with diuretics before taking women on extended walks, waiting for the drugs to take effect.

Police say he meticulously documented what he called “experiments” in an Excel spreadsheet.

He would record intimate details from the colour of victims’ underwear to the strength of their urine flow and the precise timing of when the drug was administered and when control was lost.

He also allegedly took covert photographs – earning him the nickname “le photographe” within the ministry.

In 2018, a junior colleague reportedly caught him taking photographs of a senior female official at work.

When police later searched his devices, they allegedly found numerous files and images, including photographs of women’s legs taken from under tables.

A formal investigation began in 2019, yet six years on there is still no trial date.

Nègre remains free pending the outcome.

Prosecutors have told alleged victims they have just one month left to submit testimony before the inquiry is closed.

Anaïs de Vos says her experience followed a similar pattern.

She met Nègre in 2011 for what she believed was a job interview.

Like Brice, she was offered a drink before being invited for a walk through the Tuileries Gardens.

“I realised something was wrong when he suggested I relieve myself under a bridge,” she said.

He later pointed out a small bathroom, but she refused, determined to hold on.

Hours passed before she rushed into a café near the Louvre.

“I started to wet myself just as I reached the door,” she said, before drying herself and returning downstairs deeply embarrassed.

Eight years later, police contacted her and revealed the extent of what they allege Nègre had done.

He had documented every detail of their encounter, including the precise moment he administered the drug and how her demeanour changed when she could no longer hold on.

Despite the scale of accusations, Nègre has not publicly apologised.

When approached in 2019, he acknowledged administering diuretics and taking some photographs but played down the number of women affected.

He was removed from the civil service in 2019 but continued to work in the private sector, even teaching at a business school in Caen under a fake name before students uncovered his true identity.

In 2023, the French state was ordered to pay £14,000 in compensation to seven alleged victims in a civil case, though the culture ministry was not found at fault as an employer.

For many of the women, accountability still feels distant.

“Everyone knew,” Brice said.

“Some women said: wear trousers if you’re going to see him. Not a skirt.”

Lawyers representing several alleged victims argue that the prolonged delay in bringing the case to trial amounts to “secondary trauma,” only compounding the suffering of these women.
