A former FBI agent convicted of rape faces up to 122 years in prison, according to the Montgomery County State's Attorney Office.
Eduardo Valdivia was found guilty on six counts of second-degree rape and two counts of fourth-degree sex offense, after sexually assaulting three young women at his Gaithersburg tattoo shops.
Valdivia, 41, of Gaithersburg, was arrested in November 2024 after the first victim told police in October that she was raped by someone she knew as "Lalo Brown."
At the time of his arrest, Valdivia had been a supervisory special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for over a decade.
He owned a tattoo studio, DC Fine Line Tattoos, in the 9800 block of Washingtonian Boulevard in Gaithersburg.
In November 2024, a second victim came forward with a similar report of sexual assault, according to police.
Both women, in their early 20s, reported they were lured to the tattoo studio under the pretense of modeling opportunities with Exeter Models.
Following news of his arrest, a third victim came forward and disclosed that she had been raped by Valdivia in October 2022 at a tattoo studio in the 12000 block of Travilah Road in Potomac. She said was 18 years old at the time.
Valdivia communicated with the victims under aliases including "Lalo Brown" and "L. Boogie," luring them to the tattoo studios under the pretense of free tattoos and modeling opportunities, according to prosecutors.
He also used the alias "Dr. Tiffany Kim," pretending to be a female psychologist and the CEO, president, and producer of a profitable and well-connected modeling agency in email communications with two of the victims, the State's Attorney's Office said.
Valdivia faces a maximum sentence of 122 years in prison.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 14, 2025.

A Maryland FBI agent is standing trial for allegedly sexually assaulting three women at his tattoo parlors.
Eduardo Valdivia allegedly promised the women free tattoos and assaulted them during filmed modeling shoots, prosecutors say.
He was a supervisor in the FBI and had a side job running tattoo parlors in Gaithersburg and Potomac.
He used the Instagram account “DC Fine Line Tattoos” and the fake names Lalo Brown and El Boogie to lure women, according to court documents.
Prosecutors allege Valdivia promised the women modeling contracts, then filmed himself sexually assaulting the women and used the contracts as blackmail to get them to return.
In court Friday, one of the accusers broke down in tears on the stand. She later testified about the incident-
“I didn’t know what was going to happen…,” she testified. “… I froze in shock… I was too scared to move.”
Valdivia’s defense attorney Robert Bonsib maintains the sex was consensual.
“These women went to a business office … an open area where they could walk out the door any time they wanted,” he said. “And they not only did not walk out the door, they came back.”
Valdivia faces 18 charges: eight counts of felony rape and 10 counts of misdemeanor sexual offense. He could be facing decades in prison if convicted on the sexual assault charges.
Agent previously found not guilty in Metro shooting
In 2020, Valdivia was charged with attempted murder for shooting a man on a Metro train, prosecutors say
The man asked for money and walked away cursing, prosecutors say. Valdivia told him to watch his mouth.
The encounter escalated, and Valdivia shot the man twice.
Valdivia later testified he felt threatened.
A jury found him not guilty on all counts.
Valdivia is suspended without pay, the FBI said. The agency declined to comment further.
