“I thought I was going to die of a heart attack. I thought I was going to die because I thought he was going to abuse me. » MP Sandrine Josso, who accuses Senator Joël Guerriau of having drugged her with a view to sexually assaulting her, spoke for the first time publicly this Monday evening on France 5saying he was still “post-trauma”.
“I went with all friendship and confidence to celebrate the re-election of this senator whom I have known for ten years,” said Sandrine Josso, MP for the 7th constituency of Loire-Atlantique. He served me a glass of champagne. I didn’t see the glasses until he brought them to the table. I took a first sip and found that the champagne didn’t taste the same as usual. We toasted a second time, then a third time, I found it weird. After fifteen minutes I started to have palpitations and sweating. It continued, it got even worse, I didn’t really understand what was happening to me. He was insistent, he took my glass back to serve me champagne, I didn’t understand his insistence. He was changing the intensity of the light with his dimmer, I didn’t understand what was happening. The doctors later told me that it was to increase the effectiveness of the drug on the pupils. »
“This scourge is everywhere in our society”
Sandrine Josso continues her story: “At one point, he was in the kitchen, I saw him put a white bag in a drawer. And there I understand. I was already under the influence of drugs, my legs were shaking. I took my phone and called a taxi with the app. I didn’t want to show that I was bad, I wanted to get out quickly. He followed me to the taxi, I was panicking. »
“We can all suffer what I suffered,” added Sandrine Josso on France 5, believing that “(her) duty is to raise awareness” about “the scourge” of chemical submission. “The nurses told me that there were cases like me every day. This is no longer possible. This scourge is everywhere in our society. “
Joël Guerriau was arrested and indicted. According to his lawyer, Remi-Pierre Drai, the senator had felt unwell the day before the incident due to the death of his cat and the meeting of a friend who was sick with cancer. “We never talked about that during the evening,” assures Sandrine Josso, doubting this version.
