Walker is being held in the Kenton County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash bond.
Erlanger police were notified July 3 by a concerned parent who said an adult male — who turned out to be Walker — had been messaging her 17-year-old daughter on Facebook. Walker requested nude photos of the girl and frequently made comments indicating that he wanted to have sex with her. He also asked where she was located so he could meet her.
After an investigation, police interviewed Walker and he confessed to messaging the girl on Facebook and requesting the nude photos. He told police he met the child while teaching at Lloyd High School in Erlanger and that he wanted to meet her so they could have sex.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information about this case or about other potential victims is asked to please notify Detective Kyle Thornberry 859-727-2920 or kyle.thornberry@erlangerpd.com.
