Child Sex Crimes Suspect Wanted After Failing To Show In Court

Authorities are working around the clock to find a suspect who failed to appear in front of a jury Monday.

Oklahoma City police reported that Walter E. Walker allegedly has nine victims. Police said at the time the victims were boys between 8 and 13 years old, and that the crimes date back years.

In 2016, Oklahoma City police said they responded to case of child molestation in which 54-year old Walter Walker allegedly tried to watch the boys "shower" or "put lotion" on them.

Walker was later charged but bonded out of jail.

Then in 2019, while awaiting trial, police said Walker targeted a new group of young boys.

According to police reports, Walker allegedly taught the children "to fix cars" and even "called himself the grandfather to the children."

Again, police reported the male victims were between 8 and 13 years old, but this time they were asked to preform sexual acts.

Walker bailed out of jail again in January, and both cases were scheduled to be heard Monday in court.

Walker’s bond was $37,500 cash which has now been forfeited.

His charges include: six counts of forcible sodomy and four counts of indecent acts with a child under 16.

Until Walker is found, a court date will not be set.

"This individual that we will leave no stone unturned. We will use all of our resources, working with our local partners, state partners and our national partners as well," said Mark Myers of the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. "His information has been placed into a national database, so if he has skipped town, law enforcement across the United States when they run his information they will see he has a warrant in Oklahoma."

Police do ask you to call 911 or CrimeStoppers if you spot Walker.

His attorney had no comment on the case.
