DEA agents hired prostitutes paid for by drug cartels

Washington Times:

Several Drug Enforcement Administration agents enjoyed sex parties with hookers hired by drug cartels, a watchdog report said Thursday, the latest in a string of investigations into sexual misconduct by government agents.

 

Investigators began looking at the agency’s transgressions after it was revealed that DEA agents had joined the Secret Service in hiring prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, while doing advance security work for a 2012 visit by President Obama.

 

And the Justice Department’s internal watchdog, the inspector general, found it wasn’t the first time DEA agents in Latin America had gotten involved with prostitutes in an especially compromising way.

 

Since at least 2005, a foreign official at an overseas DEA post had helped agents to arrange “‘sex parties’ with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels” at the agents’ “government-leased quarters, over a period of several years,” the inspector general said.
