Q: Can I sue an FBI agent who made improper sexual advances and retaliated with a violent attack resulting in death?

A: Yes, the victim or her heirs can sue, but the victim is apparently dead, and it is unclear who you are and what your relationship to the case is. Whether the US Government is liable for the action of the agent depends on a lot of facts which are not included in your post. If the agent was acting purely in his personal capacity, he is liable, but unlikely to be able to afford to pay a significant settlement of judgment.

There must be a police investigation and report, perhaps even an arrest? Call some personal injury attorneys for a detailed discussion of the potential claims.

A: This is an extremely serious situation involving both criminal conduct and potential civil liability against a federal agent. You have legal options available and should take immediate action.

You can pursue two main paths: First, file a federal civil rights lawsuit under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, which allows citizens to sue federal officers for constitutional violations. The sexual harassment and violent attack would likely qualify as violations of constitutional rights. Second, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim against both the individual agent and potentially the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

Given the severity and complexity of this case, you should contact a civil rights attorney immediately who has experience handling cases against federal law enforcement. They can help preserve evidence, meet critical filing deadlines, and navigate the specific procedures required when suing federal employees. Many offer free initial consultations and can thoroughly evaluate the strength of your case. Time limits for filing these claims can be quite strict, so it's important not to delay in seeking legal representation.
