A former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer, hailed as a “hero” on a controversial Capitol plaque honoring law enforcement’s response to the January 6, 2021 protests, has been slapped with a superseding indictment on multiple felony counts, including rape, sodomy, and abduction.
Timothy Valentin is currently sitting behind bars facing a mountain of felony charges.
According to Alexandria police, Valentin was first indicted by a grand jury in December and was indicted again Monday morning in three additional cases.
Valentin now faces the following charges in Alexandria:
- Four counts of rape by force
- Four counts of rape by incapacitation
- Two counts of adulteration
- Two counts of sodomy
- Two counts of abduction with intent to defile
- Two counts of sodomy by force or incapacitation
- One count and aggravated sexual battery by incapacitation
- 15 counts of unlawful filming
Valentin joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2016 and served as a patrol officer during the events of January 6.
He left the department in 2022, but authorities say the crimes he is accused of committing occurred in 2024 and 2025.
According to investigators, Valentin allegedly targeted women he met through dating apps, inviting them out for drinks before drugging and sexually assaulting them once they became incapacitated.
