The Montgomery County Department of Police has taken an FBI Special Agent into custody on charges of sexual assault against two adult women. The arrest was publicized in a news release issued by the Montgomery County Department of Police. The briefing is scheduled today, at 11 a.m. It will be held at the Montgomery County Department of Police headquarters in Gaithersburg.
Details remain forthcoming, but investigators from the Special Victims Investigations Division have suggested that the case might involve more victims. Following the arrest, the news conference aims to reach out to the public, encouraging any additional victims to step forward. This incident casts a shadow on the law enforcement agencies supposed to protect the public, now accused of perpetrating harm, themselves.
Assistant Chief Nicholas Augustine of the Montgomery County Police will lead a press conference at the police headquarters, located at 100 Edison Park Drive. The FBI agent's identity has not been released pending the investigation. Police have not provided more details but will share further information at the upcoming conference.
