FBI agent accused of sexually assaulting two victims at a tattoo parlor

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — A federal agent has been charged with a sexual assault in Montgomery County, and detectives say there may be more victims.

Eduardo Valdivia, 40, FBI special agent and tattoo studio owner, will face the following charges:

Two counts of second-degree rape
Four counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct
Four counts of second-degree assault

The charges stem from reports by two women who alleged they were raped at DC Fine Line Tattoos in Gaithersburg.

In October 2024, the first victim reported that she was raped by a man she knew as “Lalo Brown”. Police say a second victim reported a similar incident of sexual assault in November.

Both women said they were lured to the tattoo studio under the pretense of a modeling opportunity with Exeter Models. They also thought they were communicating with a woman all the time.

“Lalo Brown” was later identified as Valdivia.

Anyone with information or who may have been a victim of violence is asked to contact the Special Victims Investigations Division at 240-773-5400.
