CIA officer jailed for sexually abusing dozens of women

CIA officer jailed for sexually abusing dozens of women Brian Jeffrey Raymond photographed his victims and kept detailed notes on the abuse he committed, a Washington DC court heard A former CIA officer has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women while working for the agency in South America. Law enforcement found hundreds of images of the disgraced spy groping and abusing his unconscious victims on his computer. Brian Jeffrey Raymond was handed his sentence by a Washington DC court on Wednesday, nearly a year after he pleaded guilty to one count each of sexual abuse, abusive sexual contact, coercion and enticement, and transportation of obscene material. As part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors, Raymond admitted to raping an additional four women, sexually abusing six, and taking obscene photographs of 28 female victims. Raymond’s crimes began in 2006, and spanned nearly two decades. Prosecutors told the court last year how the veteran agent would use dating apps to meet his victims while posted in Mexico, Peru, and other countries. He would meet these victims at his government-leased apartment, serve them spiked drinks, and sexually assault them after they lost consciousness.

The woman told officers that she had been drugged and raped by Raymond, and Raymond later admitted to sexually abusing her. Investigators later found more than 500 images of nude and unconscious women on Raymon’s computer. In some of the images, Raymond could be seen groping the women, forcing their eyelids open, and placing his fingers inside their mouths. Prosecutors told the court how Raymond kept detailed records on his victims, “noting their age, ethnicity, and at times whether their breasts were real.” “When this predator was a government employee, he lured unsuspecting women to his government-leased housing and drugged them,” US Attorney Graves said in a statement on Wednesday. “After drugging these women, he stripped, sexually abused, and photographed them. Today’s sentence ensures that the defendant will be properly marked as a sex offender for life, and he will spend a substantial portion of the rest of his life behind bars.” Addressing Raymond during Wednesday’s sentencing hearing, US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly called the former spy a “sexual predator,” and told him that he was “going to have a period of time to think about this.” In addition to the prison sentence, Raymond was ordered to pay $260,000 in damages and remain on parole for the rest of his life.
