Former U.S. government employee, Brian Jeffrey Raymond, has admitted to drugging and assaulting multiple women during his tenure at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. According to a Department of Justice statement, from 2006 to 2020, Raymond drugged, sexually abused, and non-consensually recorded victims in embassy-leased housing and other locations. The criminal learned about the investigation that ensued and attempted to erase the explicit content.
Raymond's heinous acts were conducted by exploiting his position— which spanned 14 years—at the U.S. Embassy. A total of 28 victims fell prey to his actions while they were incapacitated or unconscious.
Consistent efforts by the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Office of Special Investigations, the FBI Washington Field Office, and international agencies, like the government of Mexico, led to Raymond's admission of guilt. His sentencing hearings are set for September 18 and 19, 2024, with a prison term ranging between 24 and 30 years, along with lifetime supervised release and obligatory victim restitution.
