A Lithonia man is currently behind bars, facing serious allegations of statutory rape involving a minor. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, Brandon Walker, a 25-year-old Georgia resident, was arrested last Friday on several charges, which include statutory rape and child molestation by electronic device.
The arrest followed an issued warrant that detailed Walker's alleged engagement in sexual activities with a 15-year-old girl, which he is accused of recording. Patch reported that the Duluth Police Department issued the active warrants against Walker, a development that led to his arrest by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit, without incident.
As it stands, Walker is being detained at the Gwinnett County Adult Detention Center. Reflected in his warrant, he has been denied bond and is deemed "a danger to person or community" as noted by the arrest documentation mentioned by FOX 5 Atlanta. It remains unclear when Walker will make his next court appearance, a detail that is yet to be disclosed by authorities.
Walker's litany of charges also includes enticing a child for indecent purposes and the creation or possession of a visual medium that depicts a minor in sexually explicit conduct. While details remain limited, the seriousness of the allegations is clear. Reports from FOX 5 Atlanta and Patch confirm that Walker remains in custody as the legal process moves forward.
