During treatment, he confessed to the assaults, claiming he believed the actions were consensual.
Walker also reported engaging in consensual sex with another foster sister, 20, in 2015 when he was 25.
In 2018, while on probation for prior offenses, Walker contacted a 14-year-old girl on Facebook, offering her $200 to hang out and $50/$100 for nude photos. He later suggested they engage in sexual acts in a hotel room. He was charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution and electronic solicitation of children, receiving a stayed sentence...
