A CIA spy-in-training who was sexually assaulted by a fellow trainee has sued the agency, alleging that leadership tried to intimidate her when she tried to report the attack and retaliated against her for doing so.

The plaintiff in the case, identified only as Jane Doe, says that she was attacked on July 13, 2022, when her assailant snuck up behind her when she was in a stairwell at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

“[He] wrapped a scarf tightly around her neck, began strangling her with it, made lewd remarks, and tried to kiss her forcibly on her mouth,” says a federal complaint filed in the District of Columbia on Tuesday. “Plaintiff struggled, told her assailant to ‘stop,’ fought him off, and ran. He immediately tried unsuccessfully to wrap the scarf around Plaintiff’s neck again, followed Plaintiff to her office, and grabbed and forcibly kissed her.”
