Within hours of being stopped on a rural road in Venezuela, former U.S. Marine Matthew Heath told a court Monday, he found himself naked and strapped to a wire mesh connected to a car battery that would shock him between questions from officers of the country’s military counterintelligence.
A few hours later, at a different location, he was threatened with being raped with a nightstick if he did not give them the password to his satellite phone.
He did.
