Former FBI Supervisor Admits Abducting Girlfriend
posted 3:25 pm Tue December 11, 2007 - Arlington, Va.
"I want to apologize for what I've done, especially to (the victim) for the grief I caused her," a tearful Spicocchi said during Tuesday's plea hearing.
He faces a maximum of 13 years in prison, including a mandatory minimum sentence of three years, when he is sentenced March 12.
According to court records, Spicocchi suspected the victim, who had been his girlfriend, of cheating on him and had been following her. On the day of the attack, she found Spicocchi standing in her closet with a knife and tape when she returned home from work.
Spicocchi put the knife to her throat several times and threatened to kill her during the six-hour abduction, according to a police affidavit.
The victim was able to flee the apartment when Spicocchi, who was drunk, tripped and fell, prosecutor Lisa Bergman said.
Police were called after a neighbor heard a woman screaming on the 12th floor of the apartment complex that a man was trying to kill her.
Spicocchi's attorney, Thomas Abbenante, said his client is "terribly sorry for what occurred" and wanted to "apologize not only to the victim but to the community and to his fellow FBI agents."

Worked with Carl Spicocchi..........he is far from a loser. Did make a terribel mistake and now he will have to pay for that but Carl was a great Police Officer and FBI agent,. He dedicated his life to law enforcement and a woman and alcohol took him down but a great law enforcement officer who was far from a loser as his law enforcement record proves. One mistake no matter how big does not make a person a loser.
