Court papers: Witness claims El Chapo had sex with minors
NEW YORK (AP) — Newly unsealed documents about notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman contains claims by witnesses that he had sex with minors he called "vitamins," a disturbing allegation coming just as a jury is about to start deliberating in his U.S. drug-trafficking case.
According to papers made public late Friday, a key government cooperator told authorities Guzman had him drug girls as young as 13 before Guzman had sex with them at one of his Mexican hideouts in the late 2000s.
One of Guzman's lawyers called the accusations "extremely salacious" Saturday, and questioned the timing the government filing.
