Two Algerian women separately claimed that a former CIA station chief Andrew Warren, 41, raped them while he was stationed in Algiers last fall, ABC News first reported.
They believe that they were slipped date rape drugs and were brought back to the officer's home, where the rapes happened.
According to CNN, the man went back home to the US for a scheduled trip in October, shortly after the allegations were made. He was ordered not to return to Algiers.
It is reportedly against the law to reveal the officer's name, but according to BCC News, court documents revealed his name.
A search in his Algiers home found that he had pills that seemed to be a common type of date rape drug. Authorities also found tapes that showed Warren in sexual acts with women who seemed to be semiconscious.
However, the date stamp reportedly showed that these tapes were from his tenure in Cairo before he was stationed in Algeria.
State Department spokesman Robert Wood said that "the individual in question has returned to Washington and the U.S. government is looking into the matter."
"I can assure you that the agency would take seriously and follow up any allegations of impropriety," CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield said.
Warren has not been charged with anything yet, sources said.
A CIA station chief runs the agency's operations in foreign countries while managing relationships with the host nation's security services.
