Newly unsealed documents about notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman contain claims by witnesses that he had sex with minors he called "vitamins", a disturbing allegation coming just as a jury is about to start deliberating in his US drug-trafficking case. READ Witness: El Chapo told me to give $100 000 to generalOn Saturday, one of Guzman's lawyers called the accusations "extremely salacious" and questioned the timing of the government filing. Guzman directed Cifuentes to put a "powdery substance" into the girls' drinks before sex, said Cifuentes. Guzman "called the youngest of the girls his 'vitamins' because he believed that sexual activity with young girls gave him 'life'," he added. The document says other co-operating witnesses have backed up the claims about Guzman's interactions with underage girls.
