Walker has been charged with a total of 13 counts, including:

  • 10 counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14;
  • Two counts of oral copulation or sexual penetration of a child 10 years or younger;

"If convicted on these charges, he's looking at life in prison," Hamilton said.

Campbell Police did not release any specifics to the nature of the alleged victim's identity due to confidentiality, but police did confirm that they all ranging in age from 9-to-15-years-old. Most either know each other or know of each other.

It is also alleged that Walker would have the young girls video chat and visit inappropriate websites with him online, the court reports said.

The court reports state that Walker said he had "an interest in 'child development' and 'child psychology.' His goal was to become a teacher."

The reports also reveal that Walker has been investigated in the past for "similar types of allegations and these reports and facts will be located and forwarded to the DA's office at a later time."

Trial is set for March 18, 8:30 a.m. in dept. 24 of the Santa Clara County Superior Court in downtown San Jose.
