FCC Employee Arrested for Multiple Assaults, Attempted Abductions at Virginia Metro Stations

Jeffrey Gary, a 35-year-old assistant division chief at the Federal Communications Commission and Georgetown Law graduate, was arrested and charged with multiple felonies after allegedly sexually assaulting and attempting to abduct two women near Metro stations in Alexandria, Virginia. The first attack occurred at the Potomac Yard Metro Station, where Gary pinned a woman against glass and touched her inappropriately while her 4-year-old daughter poured juice on him to intervene. Less than an hour later, Gary allegedly attacked another woman near the Braddock Road Metro Station, but she resisted and escaped. Police believe Gary targeted females while riding the Metro and are investigating if there are additional victims. The FCC has terminated Gary's employment following the incident. Alexandria Police Chief Tarrick McGuire condemned the acts and offered support to the victims, emphasizing the psychological impact on the community.
