An FBI special agent who was acquitted of attempted murder in a DC Metro shooting has been charged with raping and assaulting two women in Maryland, police said Monday.
Eduardo Valdivia, 40, has been suspended from the FBI pending a police investigation, a spokesperson for the bureau’s Washington field office told CNN. “The FBI takes allegations of criminal violations and misconduct very seriously,” the field office said in a statement. “We are aware of the matter involving the recent arrest of an FBI employee and are fully cooperating with the Montgomery County Police Department. Because this is an ongoing investigation, the FBI cannot comment further.
“Detectives from the Special Victims Investigations Division believe there may be additional victims,” police said in a statement, adding they would hold a news conference Tuesday to encourage more people to come forward. The charges come almost two years after Valdivia was found not guilty of attempted murder and other related charges by a Maryland jury after he shot and wounded a passenger on a Washington, DC-area Metro train in December 2020.
