Escobar raped me at age 14, reveals Colombian drug lord's widow

Victoria details how she dealt with the fact that she was assaulted by her husband, 25 years after his demise

The widow of Pablo Escobar revealed on Saturday that the Colombian drug lord raped her and then forced her to get a back-alley abortion when she was only 14 years old, Mail Online reported.

In her memoir, titled 'My Life and My Jail with Pablo Escobar', due to be released on November 15, Victoria Eugenia Henao detailed how she dealt with the fact that she was assaulted by her husband, 25 years after his demise.

Henao, 57, made the revelation in the epilogue of her book titled, 'The secret I've hid for years,' in which she explained how she broke the news to to her two children, Sebastian, now 41, and Manuela, 34, for the very first time.

"I had to connect with my history and immerse myself in the depths of my soul, to build up the courage to reveal the sad secret that I have harboured for 44 years," she wrote.

She says it was a secret, she thought she would take to the grave, and is a truth that she knows will "worsen the perception the world has of the man who was her husband."

Henao, states she was 14 and Escobar, her boyfriend at the time, was 25 when he one day "hugged" and "kissed" her, leaving her "paralysed" in fear.

"I was not prepared, I did not feel sexual malice, I did not have the proper tools to understand what that intimate and intense contact meant," she stated.

The drug lord's widow says three weeks later, she began to feel "strange," but at such a young age, she explains it never occurred to her that she could be carrying a child.

Escobar visited her days later to inquire how she was feeling and if she would accompany him to a woman's residence situated in a remote and desolate area.

"Almost immediately, an elderly lady, who barely greeted me, told me to lie down on a stretcher and immediately inserted several plastic tubes into my womb, the ones [tubes] that are used to channel veins, and merely said that they would serve as prevention," she narrated.

"Prevention of what?" Henao asked, "She answered with certainty, "that you could be pregnant."

"She then told me to be very careful and instructed me to take the tubes out once I started to bleed."

Henao says that while she did not comprehend what was happening, she obliged.

"The following days I slept with those strange tubes inside me and I was forced to go to school that way so that my mother would not suspect anything," the dead drug lord's widow said, "I was in intense pain, but I couldn't say anything to anyone. I would just pray to God that it would be over soon."
