Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey was reported to be drunken and inappropriate during his recent weekend visit to San Juan del Sur, a small resort town in Nicaragua. Some online gossip journals report that the actor made a general public nuissance of himself, while others suggest he was oggling local women at the popular Iguana bar.
The New York Daily News reports:
Never mind that his Brazilian model girlfriend, Camila Alves, is due to give birth next month. A mighty thirsty McConaughey had to be helped out of a Nicaraguan bar the other night after dancing with an assortment of babes, says a witness.
The "Sahara" star headed there to surf, but ended up on June 6 at a cantina called the Iguana in San Juan del Sur. Perhaps his wave-riding left him exhausted. McConaughey was said to have been seen later resting in a ditch.
Innocent or othwerwise, the embarrassing incident is eerily reminiscent of what made headlines last year in the same tiny surfing town: the conviction and prison sentence of American enrepreneur Eric Volz (which was overturned in late December). The violent rape and murder of Volz's Nicaraguan ex-girlfriend, Doris Jimenez - the first in many years in San Juan del Sur - remains unsolved, and despite mounting evidence to the contrary, most residents there still believe that Volz was guilty and freed because of mounting US embassy pressure.

I cannot believe that you would compare a rape and murder case to a movie star visiting the area and getting too drunk to stand. The Volz case does not remain "unsolved" as you report. There was someone arrested, tried, and convicted of the murder that remains in prison today. His name is Martin Chamorro. Obviously, that is news to you, or should I say not newsworthy enough for you. Matt McConaughey got unbelievably wasted and acted like a complete idiot in front of the entire town for a few days. What does one thing have to do with the other?
