Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Eduardo Valdivia, 41, of Gaithersburg, was sentenced in Montgomery County Circuit Court to 80 years in prison, with all but 60 years suspended, after being convicted of multiple sex offenses involving three young women he lured to his tattoo studios under false pretenses.
According to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, “The defendant had been employed as a Supervisory Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for over a decade when he was arrested in November of 2024. He owned a tattoo studio named DC Fine Line Tattoos in the 9800 block of Washingtonian Boulevard in Gaithersburg. Two of the victims, both of whom were women in their early 20s, reported they were raped at the tattoo studio. One of them was also raped at a nearby hotel. Following news of the arrest, a third victim came forward and disclosed that she had been raped by Valdivia in October of 2022, in a tattoo studio in the 12,000 block of Travilah Rd. in Potomac. She was 18 years old at the time.
Valdivia communicated with the victims under aliases including “Lalo Brown” and “L. Boogie.” He lured them to the tattoo studios under the pretense of free tattoos and/or modeling opportunities. He also used the alias “Dr. Tiffany Kim,” pretending to be a female psychologist and also the CEO, President, and Producer of a profitable and well-connected modeling agency, in email communications with two of the victims.
Assistant State’s Attorneys Sheila Bagheri and Rachel Morris prosecuted this case.”
