The man and the woman had connected through the dating app Tinder and chatted on WhatsApp before eventually meeting in person for a date.
He arrived with wine in his backpack; later, they withdrew to his Mexico City apartment.
The next thing she knew, the woman was crying in the back of an ambulance, according to court documents recounting the events of their date on May 31, 2020.
The woman had no memory of screaming from the man’s balcony while nude or having sex with him, which he later told authorities was consensual. The man, Brian Jeffrey Raymond, worked for the CIA and was stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico.
He told investigators that he hardly used dating apps, but allowed investigators to search his phone.
That’s when police discovered a horde of explicit images and videos of unconscious women, on not just his phone but also other devices he used. Eventually, authorities learned that Raymond had drugged and sexually abused multiple unconscious women across multiple countries.
On Wednesday, Raymond, 48, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for his crimes, the Department of Justice announced in a news release. While Raymond was a resident of Washington, D.C., and traveled extensively for his work and leisure, he was also a resident of La Mesa in San Diego County.
