Lisa Sales had just started work for Booz Allen Hamilton, a Pentagon contractor, when she was raped by her house tenant - a Russian grad student. She soon learned he was the son of a former career officer in Russia's FSB, who had spied for the US for 6 yrs news.yahoo.com/how-a-brutal-a…
As she dug into her assailant's history, she learned the father/son had likely been relocated to the US by the CIA; records showed the father had $16 million in assets, presumably payment from CIA. After raping Sales, the son was arrested again for threatening a couple with a gun
This story raises a lot of questions about the CIA's spy relocation program and what happens when former spies or their families commit crimes here. News about the crimes can draw unwanted attention to the spy, which puts CIA in difficult situation. Do they try to cover up crime?
