Zoilamérica Ortega Murillo (née Narváez Murillo) (born November 13, 1967, in Managua) is a consultant for Comunidad Casabierta, an LGBTI rights organisation in Costa Rica. She is also a former member of the National Assembly of Nicaragua.
In 1998, she accused her stepfather, Daniel Ortega, of sexually abusing her as a child.[1] [2]
According to her account, April 1989 was the last time that Ortega raped her, through a third party. In September 1990, her mother threw her out of the presidential house during a nervous breakdown. Zoilamérica was recovering from a leg operation. Beginning in the 1990s, Zoilamérica recounted that her sexual harassment of her by the former president became telephone calls, and was never physical again.[3]
From her exile in Costa Rica she condemned her stepfather during the 2021 Nicaraguan general election.[4]
Her mother is Rosario Murillo, her father was Jorge Narváez Parajón (m. 1967; d. 1968). She is also a stepdaughter of Daniel Ortega, president of Nicaragua.
The 2019 documentary film Exiliada revolves around and interviews her, as well as her complaints of sexual abuse against Ortega in 1998.[5]
