A former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer, hailed as a “hero” on a controversial Capitol plaque honoring law enforcement’s response to the January 6, 2021 protests, has been slapped with a superseding indictment on multiple felony counts, including rape, sodomy, and abduction.

Timothy Valentin is currently sitting behind bars facing a mountain of felony charges.

According to Alexandria police, Valentin was first indicted by a grand jury in December and was indicted again Monday morning in three additional cases.

Valentin now faces the following charges in Alexandria:

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
Two counts of sodomy by force or incapacitation
One count and aggravated sexual battery by incapacitation
15 counts of unlawful filming

Valentin joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2016 and served as a patrol officer during the events of January 6.

He left the department in 2022, but authorities say the crimes he is accused of committing occurred in 2024 and 2025.

According to investigators, Valentin allegedly targeted women he met through dating apps, inviting them out for drinks before drugging and sexually assaulting them once they became incapacitated.

Police say victims have been identified in:

Alexandria, Virginia
Prince George’s County, Maryland
Takoma Park, Maryland

In total, investigators believe nearly a dozen women may have been targeted.

Authorities say Valentin currently faces charges tied to four victims in Alexandria, while six victims have been identified in Prince George’s County, with charges filed in three of those cases. Another investigation remains active in Takoma Park.

More from NBC Washington:

News4 obtained court documents that provide disturbing details about the case that brought Valentin’s arrest in December. At a bond hearing, prosecutors told the judge Valentin is accused of taking the victim to O’Connell’s in Old Town, where both drank heavily.

According to the document, when the victim returned from the bathroom, she saw Valentin stirring something into her drink. She later passed out in his car. The woman told police she woke to him raping and sodomizing her.

Urine testing of the victim showed the presence of bromazolam, a sedative, in her system.

At the bond hearing, Valentin’s attorney said about the December case that the sex was consensual.

Court documents go on to say that when an Alexandria detective searched Valentin’s car, they found a law enforcement badge, a gun, prescription receipts, condoms and two sandwich bags with a white, powdery substance.

The documents say Valentin’s phone had dozens of video recordings of him engaged in sex acts with women who appeared to be intoxicated or incapacitated. News4 asked police how many women were shown on cellphone videos. They declined to answer.

Timothy Valentin is among the officers whose names appear on the controversial January 6 memorial plaques shoved down America’s throat by radical Democrats.

This is the same plaque pushed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and his cronies, all while they continue to demonize peaceful Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists.”

The plaque in question was authorized by Congress as a sneaky earmark buried in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, a bill sponsored by none other than Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

While House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) successfully fought to delay the installation of this political prop in the House, liberal Senators like Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) pushed through a resolution to display it in the Senate wing.

Next to the plaque is a QR code that leads visitors to a list of “heroes.” Right there on the list, hosted by the Architect of the Capitol, is Timothy Valentin.
