Unsealed documents made public just as jury is about to start deliberations in Joaquín Guzmán’s drug-trafficking caseUnsealed documents about the Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán contain claims by witnesses that he had sex with minors he called “vitamins”. One of Guzmán’s lawyers called the accusations “extremely salacious” and questioned the timing of the government filing. Guzmán directed Cifuentes to put a “powdery substance” into the girls’ drinks before sex, said Cifuentes. Guzmán “called the youngest of the girls his ‘vitamins’ because he believed that sexual activity with young girls gave him ‘life’,” he added. The document says other cooperating witnesses have backed up the claims about Guzmán’s interactions with underage girls.
