A veteran CIA officer, Brian Jeffrey Raymond, has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for drugging, photographing, and sexually assaulting 28 women over a span of 14 years. Prosecutors described it as an extraordinary case of wanton abuse. The sentencing, which took place on Wednesday, followed an emotional hearing where victims recounted being deceived by a man from an agency supposed to protect the world from evil. The investigation began in 2020 after a woman was seen screaming for help from Raymond's residence in Mexico City. While maintaining the classified nature of his work, Raymond committed these acts around the world.
