The victim was raped on the floor of her townhome after being awoken to Agee standing inside her apartment and armed with a knife, according to investigators.

Imagine for a moment a horror scene from a movie. Imagine for a moment everyone’s worst nightmare. An adult woman who falls asleep in her living room while watching TV wakes up to a man standing inside her apartment armed with a weapon. This wasn’t a movie. It was Sunday night, minutes before midnight,”

GRAND THEFT AUTO – Agee was caught after a chase when he wrecked the stolen car

STOLEN AUTO RECOVERY: 2200 block of Castle Rock Square, 3/1/21, 4:34 p.m. Reston District Neighborhood Patrol Units located a stolen 2012 Ford Fusion in a neighborhood and attempted to stop the car, but the driver refused, drove a short distance and crashed into an unoccupied car. The driver, Anthony Agee, 21, of Reston, was located by a police K9 and taken into custody. He was charged with grand larceny auto theft, reckless driving, false identity to law enforcement and hit and run.

ABC7 NEWS provided this update on August 23, 2022:
Police said the victim was taken to an area hospital and treated for her injuries. The victim’s cell phone was taken by the alleged suspect and found discarded in the woods a distance away from the apartment.

Police were made aware of a previous case on June 9. In that incident, video footage provided by a community member caught a predator passing through at various times during the night, police said. In the same case, an alert community member also saw a handprint on a sliding glass door.

On Monday, police placed an emergency rush on getting the print analyzed by a forensics team, and hours later, “got a hit”, according to O’Carroll.

Arrest warrants for Agee were secured by police for peeping and indecent exposure Monday at 4:15 p.m. —18 hours after the attack. Agee was placed in handcuffs, police said.

CRIMINAL HISTORY

Agee has a lengthy criminal history in Fairfax County, according to the county’s general district court. At the time of Sunday’s rape, Agee was on bond awaiting trial on an indecent exposure charge.

7News obtained a copy of his prior charges on Tuesday, which includes:

  • Entering a structure to commit assault and battery
  • Pointing/brandishing a firearm
  • Grand larceny: Auto theft
  • Use of a firearm in a felony
  • Falsely identifying oneself to law enforcement
  • A number of driving-related infractions

Chief Davis was asked about Agee’s prior record during the press conference Tuesday.

“As we look back at him and his criminal history, and the opportunities that the criminal justice system may have had to interrupt his criminal behavior, that’s always something that should give us pause to contemplate being better as a criminal justice system,” Davis said. “It should be an absolute aberration for any of us to stand up here and describe a repeat violent offender. You shouldn’t be a repeat violent offender because your criminal behaviors should be interrupted by incarceration.”
