Christopher Dudley, a volunteer EMT with the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad (BCCRS), was arrested by Fairfax County Police in relation to several instances of unlawful interaction with juveniles that began in 2004.
Four victims came forward after an investigation that was started by a referral from Child Protective Services, and Custodian charged Dudley, 46, of Fairfax, with eight counts of Aggravated Sexual Battery and eight counts of Indecent Liberties.
Following his recent arrest, Christopher Dudley, a life member who has volunteered with the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad (BCCRS) since 2002, was suspended from all BCCRS events and placed on involuntary administrative leave, according to the BBCRS.
