WASHINGTON, June 26, 2025 – **Jeffrey Gary**, a former Assistant Division Chief at the Federal Communications Commission, was arrested on June 1 and faces multiple criminal charges, including assault and battery, sexual battery, and two counts of abduction with force.

On May 30, Gary, an attorney, was accused of assaulting two women near Alexandria, Va., Metro stations. When law enforcement traced Gary’s Metro card, they discovered it was registered to the FCC, where he had been employed for the past two years. 

Following his arrest, the FCC immediately terminated Gary’s employment.
