A Maryland FBI supervisor who was found guilty of sexually assaulting three women between 2022-2024 will spend 60 years behind bars. A judge handed down the sentence in a courtroom on Tuesday.
The Honorable Cheryl McCally sentenced Eduardo Valdivia to 80 years in prison, suspending all but 60 years.
Prosecutors argued that the 41-year-old man used several aliases, as well as his Gaithersburg tattoo parlor, to create the illusion of a network of modeling agencies, and then used that guise to prey upon three different women.
"He selected systematically vulnerable unsophisticated young girls that were caught up in the world of getting their first tattoo for free for the potential of a modeling career," State's Attorney John McCarthy told reporters following the guilty verdict. "Trained in covert surveillance and the ability to deceive, take on multiple personalities, these were tools that he used against all these young women."
Prosecutors say Valdivia worked as a tattoo artist under the name Lalo Brown, offering free tattoos to women between the ages of 18 and 21, and promising the women modeling opportunities. Prosecutors also noted that FBI policy doesn't allow for side hustles like that in the first place.
Prosecutors were seeking the maximum sentence of 122 years in prison.
Fake identities used by Valdivia to target women included a photographer named L Boogie and a modeling CEO named Dr. Tiffany Kim, arranging photo shoots that led to sexual violence.
