In March 1998 Zoilam\\xe9rica Narv\\xe1ez 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\\xe1ez said that the abuse had continued 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. Mike Lanchin has been speaking to Zoilam\\xe9rica Narv\\xe1ez about her disturbing story.
