FBI agent acquitted in 2020 D.C. subway shooting charged with sexual assault

Eduardo Valdivia, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting two women after his acquittal in a Washington, D.C. subway shooting about 4 years ago, according to a report citing police and court records. 

Valdivia has been suspended by the bureau during the ongoing police investigation in Montgomery County, Maryland.

He was previously acquitted of attempted murder after shooting a man on a Metro subway train near Washington, D.C. in 2020, according to WUSA.

"The FBI takes allegations of criminal violations and misconduct very seriously. 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," the FBI said in a statement provided to WUSA.
