Speaking out against my abuser
In March 1998 Zoilam茅rica Narv谩ez publicly accused her step-father, Nicaragua's revolutionary leader, Daniel Ortega of having sexually abused her since she was a child. The 31-year-old Narv谩ez said the abuse went on for almost twenty years. Ortega, who was re-elected as Nicaragua's president for a third consecutive term in 2016, has consistently denied the accusations. Witness History hears from Zoilam茅rica about her disturbing story.
