DEA agents went to drug cartel hooker sex parties: DOJ
Drug Enforcement Administration agents partook in wild sex parties with hookers hired by Colombian drug cartels, a bombshell report released Thursday by the Justice Department claims.
The [report]("http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/2015/e1504.pdf#page=2"), published by the department’s Office of the Inspector General, reveals a culture of widespread and extreme sexual misconduct across several federal agencies as well as persistent resistance to the investigations created to unearth it. Among the most shocking of the report’s dozens of allegations is the incidence of “‘sex parties’ with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels for DEA agents at their government-leased quarters, over a period of several years.”
“Although some of the DEA agents participating in these parties denied it, the information in the case file suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with cartel funds,” investigators wrote of the parties. “The foreign officers further alleged that in addition to soliciting prostitutes, three DEA SSAs (special agents) in particular were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members.”
During the parties, which reportedly occurred between 2005 and 2008, agents allegedly paid Colombian police officers to provide security and “protection for the DEA agents’ weapons and property,” the report claimed. That protection, however, didn’t alleviate serious “security risks” posed by the romps, where, according to the report, hookers were constantly around sensitive government computers and devices, including “agents' laptops, BlackBerry devices, and other government-issued equipment.”
