French Senator Joël Guerriau Arrested on Suspicion of Drugging MP

Tests reveal traces of ecstasy in the unnamed MP's system following a drink with Guerriau; party officials to discuss his position.

French senator Joël Guerriau has been arrested on suspicion of drugging an MP with the intent to sexually assault her.
The unnamed MP allegedly felt unwell after having a drink with Guerriau and tests reportedly revealed traces of ecstasy in her system.
Guerriau, a member of the centrist Horizons party, was detained at his Paris home and his parliamentary immunity was overridden due to the severity of the allegations.
The senator's lawyer, Rémi-Pierre Drai, has expressed outrage over the leak of information from the investigation to the press.
Christophe Béchu, a leading figure in the Horizons party, stated that Guerriau will not be able to remain in the party if there is any doubt about his guilt.
