Watchdog: DEA agents had sex parties with prostitutes hired by drug cartels

“The foreign officer allegedly arranged ‘sex parties’ with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels for these DEA agents at their government-leased quarters, over a period of several years,” the IG report says.

The parties reportedly took place between 2005-08, but the DEA’s Office of Professional Responsibility only became aware of them in 2010 following an anonymous complaint. DEA supervisors, however, had been aware of the allegations for several years because of complaints from building management where the DEA office in Bogota was located.

“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. A foreign officer also alleged providing protection for the DEA agents’ weapons and property during the parties,” the report said. “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.”
