Former state department official charged with sexual assault in Prince William County
The former special agent in charge of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s protective detail is jailed without bond on charges of sexually assaulting a girl in Prince William County between 2011 and 2013.
If he’s guilty, he should be executed, IMO. I know the law doesn’t call for capital punishment, but it should in such a case.
Have to wonder what kind of evidence could be presented, though, since the alleged abuse took place so long ago.
Prior to his current assignment, he was the special agent in charge of Diplomatic Security’s Washington Field Office. From January 2013 to April 2015, he served as the special agent in charge of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s protective detail. Before heading the Secretary’s protective detail, Mr. Moretti was deputy regional security officer for protective operations at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, where he led a team of 600 security professionals that provided protection to U.S. Embassy staff.
From May 2010 through July 2012, he was director for the Office of Mobile Security Deployments (MSD), the on-call response force used by the Department of State to counter threats against official U.S. interests and personnel overseas and to provide specialized security training at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad.
During his first tour in Iraq, Mr. Moretti served as the deputy regional security officer for embassy operations. In this capacity he was responsible for all procedural, technical, and physical security programs at the Embassy. From August 2005 to July 2006, he served as regional security officer at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
Mr. Moretti holds the rank of Counselor in the Senior Foreign Service and is a recipient of several Department of State honors and awards including the Superior Honor Award and Meritorious Honor Award.
He is a graduate of the National War College, class of 2007. He also attended Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies.
Where was he from 2007 - 2010, and where was he from July 2012 to Jan 2013?
Note that the latter set of dates is bracketed by the time during which he was accused of sexually assaulting a 10- to 11- year old girl.
Note also that the charges were reported to the police, in September 2019. Around 7 years later.
What threats or inducements were used to keep her quiet?
