ENID MAN ARRESTED FOR COMMUNICATING WITH MINOR AND POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Sgt. Dustin Albright arrested Kristapher Lee Walker, age 27, of Enid, Oklahoma last night after Mr. Walker admitted to engaging in sexually explicit conversations with a person he believed to be a 13 year old female.
The arrest was the result of an undercover online investigation that began with a Cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that was sent to the Enid Police Department. The Cybertip stated that an adult male was “sexting” back and forth with a 14 year old female from Ohio. Albright spoke with the mother of the victim and she said that her daughter told her that she had been having “phone sex” and was communicating back and forth with a male that they believed was anywhere from 22 years old to 37 years old. She said that the male went by the name, “Tim Smith”. The victim’s mother told Albright that she searched the internet for this man’s phone number and found it on a sexually explicit website. She said that the man commented on a story and he posted his phone number asking for girls to call or “sext” him. Albright began and undercover investigation and Walker engaged in sexually explicit conversations with a person he believed to be a 13 year old female. Albright was then able to identify this person as Kristapher Walker.
Albright made contact with Walker late Thursday afternoon. Walker was interviewed and subsequently arrested. Walker admitted to communicating with the female in Ohio and to other underage females around the nation. He admitted to having sexually explicit photos of underage females. He said that they were sent to him by these underage females. Sexually explicit photos were found to be in Walker’s possession. It was learned that they were sent to him by a 15 year old female in another state. It was also learned that Walker sent sexually explicit photos of himself to her.
“I believe that there are numerous other victims of this crime out there and I intend to investigate this matter as far as possible”, Albright stated.
Walker was charged with Soliciting Sexual Conduct or Communicating with a Minor by use of Technology and Possession of Child Pornography. He is being held at the Garfield County Detention Facility.
