  "account": "Anaïs de Vos, then 27, was interviewed for a position at France's Ministry of Culture in 2011. During the interview, interviewer Christian Nègre offered her coffee, which she drank half of due to its unpleasant taste. After a short walk, Nègre suggested they go to a storage cupboard under a bridge on the River Seine for her to urinate. Anaïs felt uncomfortable and insisted on using the toilets at the Louvre instead. However, her attempts to control her urge to urinate were unsuccessful, and she ultimately wet herself. She later learned she was one of nearly 250 women who believed Nègre had drugged them during job interviews between 2009 and 2018.",
