A California man pleaded guilty Friday to sexual abuse and admitted to the abusive sexual contact of numerous women, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He also admitted photographing and recording dozens of nude and partially nude women without their consent during his career as a U.S. government employee, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Brian Jeffrey Raymond, 45, of La Mesa, was most recently employed by the U.S. government at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico. <\/span><\/p>\n

Raymond departed Mexico after an adult woman was observed nude and screaming for help from his balcony on May 31, 2020. The woman reported she had no memory of events after consuming drinks and food provided by Raymond.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cBrian Raymond betrayed the trust granted to him as a U.S. government employee representing the United States abroad by engaging in years of predatory conduct sexually abusing, exploiting, and recording vulnerable women he targeted in the United States and around the world,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department\u2019s Criminal Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the subsequent investigation, law enforcement agents recovered hundreds of photographs and videos depicting more than 20 unconscious and nude or partially nude women from Raymond\u2019s cell phones, iCloud account, and other electronic devices. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Raymond created these materials starting at least as early as 2006 and continuing up until May 30, 2020. Raymond\u2019s hand is visible in photographs and videos manipulating his victims\u2019 eyes, mouths, and limbs and fondling their breasts and buttocks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Raymond is also seen lying in bed with unconscious women on two different occasions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The women experienced memory loss during their time with Raymond and had no knowledge of the photographs, videos, or physical contact. <\/span><\/p>\n

Internet history recovered from Raymond\u2019s devices revealed searches for unconscious women, as well as searches for the side effects of prescription drugs combined with alcohol, for example, \u201cAmbien and alcohol side effects,\u201d \u201cAmbien dissolve,\u201d \u201cAmbien and alcohol pass out,\u201d and \u201cpassed out and carried.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the coordinated efforts of law enforcement here and abroad, Brian Raymond was brought to justice for the sexual and exploitive crimes he repeatedly committed against numerous women,\u201d said Acting U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips for the District of Columbia. \u201cWe hope that this guilty plea brings some solace to his many victims.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the plea agreement, Raymond admitted he engaged in sexual intercourse with two of the victims depicted in the recordings when both were incapable of appraising the nature of the conduct or consenting to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

These offenses occurred on May 30, 2020, and March 26, 2020, in Raymond\u2019s embassy-leased residence in Mexico City. <\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Raymond admitted that over the course of 14 years he recorded and\/or photographed at least 24 unconscious and nude or partially nude women and touched the breasts, buttocks, groin area or genitalia of numerous women while they were incapable of consent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Raymond transported these obscene materials, specifically 479 photographs and videos of 20 unconscious and nude or partially nude women, into the United States. While under investigation, Raymond attempted to delete the photographs and videos from his devices and internet accounts and made materially false statements to law enforcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Raymond will be sentenced at a date to be determined and faces up to life in prison, <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
