The Federal Bureau of Investigation is expanding its investigation of former Department of Homeland Security Officer Bert Christopher âChrisâ Heitstuman to other communities, including Fairbanks.
The FBI is now looking for tips regarding Heitstumanâs conduct from individuals outside of Anchorage, according to FBI Spokesperson Chloe Martin.
Heitstuman was arrested on Feb. 25 and is charged with five counts of second-degree sexual assault and two counts of second-degree attempted sexual assault. He is accused of sexually assaulting three women between 2012 and 2018, according to a news release from the Department of Law. Five of the seven changes against Heitstuman are related to conduct that occurred while he was employed as a Federal Protective Service law enforcement specialist with the Department of Homeland Security.
