U.S. Army Intelligence Officer Arrested on Sexual Battery Charges

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested a U.S. Army Intelligence Officer assigned to MacDill Air Force Base on multiple felony charges.

The investigation began after a victim reported that David McGillivray, 37, forcefully restrained and sexually battered her at his residence on December 21, 2024. 

On April 2, 2025, McGillivray was taken into custody at MacDill Air Force Base with assistance from military personnel. He is charged with three counts of Sexual Battery (Force Likely to Cause Injury) and Aggravated Stalking. 

"Predators who use violence to harm and control others have no place in our community," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "This arrest is a testament to the dedication of our detectives and the commitment we have to seeking justice for victims."

This is an ongoing investigation, and any further information will be provided by the Public Affairs Office.
