FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 9, 2026
Alexandria, VA – Today, during a press conference, Alexandria Police Chief Tarrick McGuire provided a briefing on the Alexandria Police Department’s (APD) investigation into a sexual assault suspect. A Grand Jury indictment against Timothy Valentin, a 30-year-old resident of Fort Washington, Maryland, alleges he has sexually assaulted four victims.
Today's indictment charges Valentin with multiple felony offenses related to three victims, including:
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
One count of Aggravated Sexual Battery by Incapacitation
Two counts of Sodomy by Force or Incapacitation
Fifteen counts of Unlawful Filming
These charges are in addition to those filed in December 2025, stemming from an alleged assault involving another victim. In that case, Valentin was charged with:
Two counts of Rape
Forcible Sodomy
Abduction with Intent to Defile
Alteration of Food or Drink
The charges result from the Alexandria Police Department’s comprehensive investigation into multiple sexual assaults that occurred in 2025 within the City of Alexandria. This investigation included collaboration with victim advocates and law enforcement partners throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region.
As part of the investigation, Valentin was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system as a wanted felon. Within hours of being entered into the system on December 11, 2025, Alexandria patrol officers received an alert from an automatic license plate reader indicating Valentin’s vehicle was traveling through the city. Officers quickly located and arrested him on the outstanding felony warrant. Valentine has been in custody since that time and was denied bond in January.
But Muh Insurrection!!
"Determined to preserve the nation's history, some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have taken it upon themselves to memorialize the moment. For months, they've mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors, resulting in a Capitol complex awash with makeshift remembrances.
"On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on Jan. 6, 2021," reads the faux bronze stand-in for the real thing. "Their heroism will never be forgotten.""
