Former FBI Agent Convicted Raping 3 Women Maryland Tattoo Parlors

Eduardo Valdivia, a former FBI supervisory special agent, was convicted on multiple counts of second-degree rape and fourth-degree sexual offenses for sexually assaulting three young women at his tattoo shops in Maryland. Valdivia used his covert surveillance training to lure victims, posing under aliases such as "Lalo Brown" and a fake female psychologist to offer free tattoos and modeling opportunities as bait. The victims, ranging in age from 18 to their early 20s, were assaulted during photo shoots and tattoo appointments between 2022 and 2024. Prosecutors described the crimes as a particularly evil scheme, with Valdivia exploiting his position and deceitful tactics. Valdivia faces up to 122 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for October 14, 2025; his attorney plans to appeal the conviction, maintaining the acts were consensual. Authorities encouraged other potential victims to come forward following his arrest in November 2024.
