Ted Kennedy ‘rented brothel for night’ in Chile in 1961

A YOUNG Ted Kennedy arranged to rent a brothel for a night while visiting Chile in 1961, a year before he was elected to the US Senate, according to a newly-released FBI file.

The previously edited State Department memo, dated December 28, 1961, was released by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based organisation that said it obtained it through a Freedom of Information lawsuit.

According to the memo, the Massachusetts Democrat, younger brother of then president John F Kennedy, made arrangements to rent the brothel “for an entire night” in Santiago earlier in 1961.
