(BETHESDA, MD) – An FBI special agent has been arrested in Montgomery County, Maryland, and is accused of sexually assaulting two women, according to police.

Special Agent Eduardo Valdivia, 40, is charged with 10 counts, including two counts of second-degree rape.

The alleged attacks occurred in May 2024 and September 2024, according to court records.

Valdivia is in custody at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility and is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing in district court on Tuesday.

“The FBI takes allegations of criminal wrongdoing and misconduct very seriously. We are aware of the matter surrounding the recent arrest of an FBI employee and are cooperating fully with the Montgomery County Police Department,” the FBI’s Washington Field Office said in a statement to ABC News.

“Concerning Eduardo Valdivia’s employment, he is currently suspended pending the conclusion of the Montgomery County Police Department’s investigation,” the statement said.

Valdivia was previously charged with attempted murder in an off-duty shooting in 2020 after a verbal altercation on a subway car. The incident was captured by security cameras.

A Montgomery County jury found Valdivia not guilty in that case after a 2022 trial.
