A chilling pattern of alleged abuse has emerged, linking a former Washington, D.C., police officer to sexual assaults across two states. Timothy Valentin, 30, now faces a mounting number of charges, accused of preying on at least ten women in Maryland and Virginia between 2024 and 2025.
Prince George’s County, Maryland, police have charged Valentin with assaulting six adult women at various locations throughout the county. The accusations paint a disturbing picture of calculated deception and violation, occurring after his resignation from the Metropolitan Police Department in 2022.
Currently held in Alexandria, Virginia, Valentin confronts four separate sexual assault charges stemming from incidents in 2025. These charges are particularly grave, including accusations of rape, sodomy, abduction, unlawful filming, and aggravated sexual battery.
Investigators believe Valentin exploited the vulnerability of his victims, often meeting them through dating applications or chance encounters. The alleged assaults consistently involved the women consuming alcohol, leading to incapacitation, before the attacks occurred.
Details from one case in Montgomery County, Maryland, reveal a calculated sequence of events. Valentin allegedly met a woman at a bar in Bowie, then transported her to a restaurant in Silver Spring, where the assault took place in April 2025.
The investigation gained momentum in late January when the Alexandria Police Department contacted Maryland detectives, recognizing potential connections to cases within Prince George’s County. This collaboration revealed the scope of Valentin’s alleged crimes extended beyond a single jurisdiction.
Authorities on both sides of the Potomac River are now actively seeking additional victims, fearing the full extent of Valentin’s alleged predatory behavior remains unknown. They urge anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward and assist the ongoing investigation.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the potential for abuse of power and the importance of vigilance, even – and perhaps especially – when the perpetrator is a former law enforcement officer.
