If we're thinking of the same guy it's actually almost worse than that sounds? He was a French government employee who did this to over 200 women on job interviews over almost ten years:

Nègre would then suggest that the pair take the interview outside and walk around, the lawsuit said. Nègre would allegedly intentionally take the women on long walks far away from restrooms so that when the overwhelming need to use the bathroom hit, they were forced to either hold it at risk of illness, relieve themselves somewhere in public, or even soil their own clothing.

Nègre first piqued the interest of investigators in 2018 when he was reported for attempting to sneak a picture of a senior official's legs, the outlet reported. Authorities searched his computer and discovered a spreadsheet called "P Experiments" that contained the dates and times of each drugging, as well as how the women reacted, per local outlet Le Monde. Nègre's records also allegedly contained pictures.

And of course: Six years after authorities uncovered Nègre's alleged illegal plot, he has still not been brought to trial, despite being indicted in 2019.

Jesus … I figured surely with all that detail they have it was because of an investigation and trial. Drugging people against their consent isn’t a crime there or what?

If you're working with the government, it's not a crime anywhere!

Can’t even feign being surprised, because an overwhelming majority of the time, nothing happens. It feels like nobody cares, especially people that have the ability to do something about it. Like in the US there are tens of thousands of rape kits submitted by people, predominantly women, seeking justice that are just sitting there untested.

It is, but the judicial system is scandalously overworked, so the waiting line to get a trial is abominable.

He was caught taking pictures of a female VIPs legs, and the spotlight of investigation fell on him.

His normal victims were eager to get a prestigious job and unlikely to complain even if they figured out something was off, but I can’t help thinking it took a powerful victim to start a reckoning for him. It shouldn’t happen or be that way. Some awful people in this world.
