30-year-old Timothy Valentin of Fort Washington. He goes by the aliases “Rico” and “Teo”.
APD: 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.

PGPD: The Prince George’s County Police Department charged a man with sexually assaulting multiple women over a two-year span. The suspect is 30-year-old Timothy Valentin of Fort Washington. He goes by the aliases “Rico” and “Teo”. He is currently in custody in Alexandria, VA, where he also faces charges.
In late January 2026, the Alexandria Police Department contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Special Crime Division – Sexual Assault Unit regarding Valentin. APD’s investigation identified potential cases in Prince George’s County.
The PGPD immediately launched an extensive investigation which has now resulted in charges against Valentin in connection with six survivors in our county. The survivors are all adults.
The crimes took place in various locations in Prince George’s County between 2024 and 2025. The preliminary investigation revealed the suspect met the women he targeted on dating apps or in person. During a date, the survivor would consume alcohol and once incapacitated, the suspect would sexually assault her.
PGPD detectives stand ready to speak to any additional survivors who may have been assaulted by Valentin or have information relevant to our active investigation. Please call the Sexual Assault Unit at 301-772-4908.
