A Fairfax County man has been sentenced to one year in the city jail for the assaults of two women near Alexandria Metro stations last year, according to the Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.
Alexandria Circuit Court Judge Lisa Kemler sentenced 36-year-old Jeffrey Gary on Friday (March 20) to 10 years in jail, with all but one year suspended. Gary previously pleaded guilty to two felony counts of abduction and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery for the assaults of two women outside the Braddock Road and Potomac Yard Metro stations on May 30, 2025.

“While I respect the judge’s decision and understand the numerous competing factors to be considered by the presiding judge at sentencing, I am disappointed the Court did not punish the defendant’s behavior more sternly,” Porter said. “This case represents every woman’s worst nightmare: being accosted by an attacker while walking home alone.”…
