Celerino Castillo III, a former special agent for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, says he was at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala talking with several members of the drug agency, the CIA and the State Department a week or so after the November 1989 torture and gang rape of Ursuline Sr. Dianna Ortiz by members of the Guatemalan military.
The representatives of U.S. government agencies, Castillo says, seemed amused by what had happened to Ortiz.
Castillo said the men jokingly asked him "if Dianna Ortiz had been good at sex." Castillo said he believed the others thought he might be the American whom Ortiz says participated in her rape and torture.
