A federal investigation has confirmed that a top-level FBI official associated with a foreign national and massage parlor owner paid for prostitutes “multiple” times before resigning and apparently ducking criminal charges.
The Department of Justice inspector general said that the former “senior level” official received “sexual favors” at a number of massage parlors while employed by the agency.
What’s more, the official did not tell the FBI of their relationship with the “foreign national” as required.
The investigation did not identify the former official or even the city the affair took place in.
Despite facing a long list of potential crimes, the inspector general said that since the suspect retired before the audit confirmed the charges, “federal and state criminal prosecution was declined.”
Senior-level federal officials earn as much as $203,000 a year. It is unclear why no charges were ever filed.
