French Senator Joël Guerriau is under investigation for allegedly drugging fellow lawmaker Sandrine Josso with the intention of committing rape or sexual assault.
Guerriau, a member of the center-right Horizons party, has been suspended from his party pending the outcome of the investigation.
Josso reported feeling unwell after drinking champagne at Guerriau's home, and subsequent tests revealed ecstasy in her system.
