PGPD Charges Suspect With Sexually Assaulting Multiple Women; Suspect Linked to Cases in Several Jurisdictions

Timothy Valentin

The Prince George’s County Police Department charged a man with sexually assaulting multiple women over a two-year span. The suspect is 30-year-old Timothy Valentin of Fort Washington. He goes by the aliases “Rico” and “Teo”. He is currently in custody in Alexandria, VA, where he also faces charges.

In late January 2026, the Alexandria Police Department contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Special Crime Division – Sexual Assault Unit regarding Valentin. APD’s investigation identified potential cases in Prince George’s County. The PGPD immediately launched an extensive investigation which has now resulted in charges against Valentin in connection with six survivors in our county. The survivors are all adults. The crimes took place in various locations in Prince George’s County between 2024 and 2025. The preliminary investigation revealed the suspect met the women he targeted on dating apps or in person. During a date, the survivor would consume alcohol and once incapacitated, the suspect would sexually assault her.

PGPD detectives stand ready to speak to any additional survivors who may have been assaulted by Valentin or have information relevant to our active investigation. Please call the Sexual Assault Unit at 301-772-4908.
