The 2019 documentary film Exiliada (English: Exiled) revolves around and interviews her, as well as her complaints of sexual abuse against Ortega in 1998. This is the only "source" there is about this alleged affair, its worth knowing that its made during the election, so does every time she recalled her "abuses". She also insisted that she were rape in 1990s, when she were already kicked out of the house, she later then said its only through the phone. She now have a cushy non-job of "activists" in Costa Rica, with unknown funding. I REALLY want to believe every victims out there, but this has every reasons to be fake, no evident whatsoever and too much of a reasoning. He killed tens of thousands of peoples...

So i guess(and this is pure speculation because of how poorly sourced this is), she filed charges in costa rica and demand he went there and be in custody of foreign police until his trial in the middle of an election cycle which he can refuse as a foreign diplomat. She was only a step-child, Ortega never have to any plans for her for inheritance so she has always been a grifter living off her mom inside the presidential homes. Graduating from a bad local university, she never got a real job and keep ping-ponging between parliament position that her mom gave her until her mom had enough and kick her out of the house. She now have a cushy job as an "LGBTI activist" in costa rica, likely paid by her father opposer, she definitely have things turn out better than starving to death on street, of course she would be lying.

You should cover the Iran-Contra Affair!
Samoza was bad and so is Ortega. It can't be understated that the use of foreign intervention in Nicaragua's politics is almost entirely to blame for its terrifying sequence of dictators. If the US hadn't supported the Samoza regime, then the Sandinistas wouldn't have been nearly as reactionary towards it as they were. On top of that, the Iran-Contra scandal led to a bunch of chaos in the US as well--It was partially to blame for the crack-cocaine epidemic that absolutely devastated inner cities. Because of the Nixon and then the Reagan presidencies, the US now has an outsized number of incarcerated people.
