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?
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.
The KGB hasn’t existed for over 30 years.
But no, the KGB was nowhere near as evil as the CIA. Here’s one instance of what happens when the CIA is sucessful.
You can find similar atrocities in every single country in South America. Also Afghanistan and much of Africa.
Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.
“While he was working tirelessly at his government job, he ignored his own need for help, and over time he began to isolate himself, detach himself from human feelings and become emotionally numb,” defense attorney Howard Katzoff wrote in a court filing.
He’s a sociopath, but other than that he’s a great guy.
Not long enough. Should be exponentially more just in case we discover a way to massively increase the human lifespan.
“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.
