(Stillwater, Okla.) – At a non-jury trial today, a Payne County judge convicted a Stillwater man of having sex with a 13-year-old girl at Sanborn Lake when he was 18 years old.
District Judge Phillip Corley ordered Daniel Joseph Walker, now 20, to register as a sex offender and placed him on probation for five years, court records show.
Stillwater Police Officer Stephen Hall had been sent to an area on April 9, 2013, on a report of a man following Walker, court records show.
A dispatcher told the officer that Walker reportedly had sex with the man’s underage daughter, a affidavit said.
“Walker approached me, then sat on the ground behind my car without being asked to do so,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“I asked what was going on and Walker said he was being accused of having sex with his (the man’s) 14-year-old daughter,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“Walker began pacing in circles and looking around as though he was going to run,” the affidavit said.
Walker later admitted to having sex with the girl once at Sanborn Lake, the affidavit said.
“Walker apologized and said he knew he should not have done it,” the affidavit said.
The girl said she met Walker through another girl who called him for a ride after the homecoming game, the affidavit said.
“The three of them went riding around and Walker began flirting with her and asked her to perform oral sex on him,” the affidavit said.
“The three stopped at Sanborn Lake, and Walker continued to flirt with her,” the affidavit said.
The girl said she initially declined but began kissing Walker, the affidavit said.
The girl said that she then performed oral sex on Walker and they had sexual intercourse, the affidavit said.
She said “there was no alcohol or drugs of any kind involved in the incident and confirmed she only had sex with Walker on one occasion and at the time she was 13,” the affidavit said.
Asked how he knew her age, “she told me when Walker began flirting with her, she asked him if he knew how old she was,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“Walker responded by saying 14,” the same age as her friend, the affidavit said.
The girl then corrected Walker and said she was actually a year younger than her friend, the affidavit said.
