"which (Guerriau) claims is the result of a personal commitment and not connected with the extremely serious legal case in which he is charged"

"handling error"
Senator Joel Guerriau, 67, said he will resign from the French Senate in early October while facing charges of allegedly spiking a glass of champagne with ecstasy to drug National Assembly Deputy Sandrine Josso in November 2023 with intent to rape or sexually assault her. Guerriau denies the accusation, calling it a "handling error", and says the resignation was planned two years into his six-year term. He was suspended by his Horizons party and faces referral to the Senate ethics committee. Josso condemned the delayed departure as a strategic retreat months before trial.
