As we previously reported, a jury convicted Walker on April 18 of three counts of forcible rape, two counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and rape of an intoxicated victim, and one count of assault with intent to commit oral copulation. All crimes stemming from between 2013 and 2018.
in March, Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi, expressed to the jury that none of Walker’s victims knew each other, but they all had one thing in common which was him. “You’re going to see a dark side of him …” the prosecutor told jurors, saying Walker primarily used Instagram and Twitter to lure his victims to locations he chose by booking them for fake photo or music video shoots or with a false promise of introducing them to a famous rapper, such as drake. Prosecutors previously revealed that used Drake’s name as a way to bait his victims in.
“When they said ‘Stop,’ he didn’t care,” Fardghassemi said.
