WASHINGTON (AP) — A longtime CIA officer who drugged, photographed and sexually assaulted more than two dozen women in postings around the world was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison Wednesday after an emotional hearing in which victims described being deceived by a man who appeared kind, educated and part of an agency “that is supposed to protect the world from evil.”
Brian Jeffrey Raymond, with a graying beard and orange prison jumpsuit, sat dejectedly as he heard his punishment for one of the most egregious misconduct cases in the CIA’s history. It was chronicled in his own library of more than 500 images that showed him in some cases straddling and groping his nude, unconscious victims.
“It’s safe to say he’s a sexual predator,” U.S. Senior Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said in imposing the full sentence prosecutors had requested. “You are going to have a period of time to think about this.”
Isn’t the entire point of the CIA doing evil and vile shit? This is just a normal Tuesday for them. I’m glad he is being punished. But damn, how can anyone think the CIA protects people?
how can anyone think the CIA protects people?
They practice the sage art nuance no jutsu.
They protect rich people. Poor people don’t matter to them.
Better then the KGB which is the amoral spy agency that trump favors. If i would have to choose I would go cia all the time.
the KGB is the same juice as the CIA in a different jug. one may be marginally better than the other, but that’s like saying Mussolini was better than…
goddammit, i didn’t mean to invoke Godwin’s Law this early in the thread.
Not saying that isn’t the case.
Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.
“that is supposed to protect the world from evil.”
lol the cia couldn’t give a single fuck about you or regular people. Their only purpose is maintaining the current world order so asswipes like Elon Musk remain rich.
Not long enough. Should be exponentially more just in case we discover a way to massively increase the human lifespan.
Shoulda been 30 years per victim
It’s pretty good for a CIA agent. Though they should feed him to genpop
Rape culture is alive and well. He should be in prison for the remainder of his natural life.
Vaush lost a lot of weight. /s
