Walker allegedly “manipulated” a 16-year-old girl into filming a sex tape at his apartment while her mother waited outside in 2017. She thought the teen was posing for headshots with the actor, who was 22 at the time. Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace said he lured the girl in and told her he would introduce her to Drake.

 

“There’s no evidence he had any connection to Drake,” Wallace told Rolling Stone. “It was just a thing that he used to lure the girls in. It was a trap, a ruse, his way of getting these girls.”

Now, Walker is facing felony charges.

“We’ve got to take more provocative photos,” he allegedly told the victim after learning she was interested in being a Victoria’s Secret model. “We’ve got to sexualize you a little bit.”

He then allegedly coerced her into stripping down to her underwear.

“He’s a 22-year-old man telling a 16-year-old girl, ‘We have to film a sex tape,'” Wallace explained to the jury.

The alleged victim said that she tried to stop the actor “multiple times,” but he didn’t “take no for an answer.”

“He keeps insisting, pushing and persisting, talking over her,” Wallace told the jury. “She said, ‘Well, I thought he knows all these people. He’s going to help me. I thought what I was doing was going to help my career.'”

“He manipulated her and twisted her dreams, manipulating her into sex,” Wallace said. “He used her for his own pleasure, and then he discarded her and her dreams.”

Walker has pled not guilty to five counts of forcible rape, one of those involving a different minor, two counts of rape by an intoxicating substance, two counts of statutory rape, one count of sexual penetration by force and one count of assault. Two additional counts against the actor were dropped after an alleged victim, the 11th to come forward about Walker, declined to testify, Rolling Stone reports. Should he be found guilty in this ongoing case, he could receive life in prison.

Singer Kehlani, who dated the actor, has been outspoken about Walker, Sohh reports. When he was released from jail on bail in March 2021, she took to Twitter.

“Photography of people (how he started assaulting folks in the first place, many of which were minors) and his case is still open and now his victims and their allies are being targeted and gaslit by him and his followers on social media. some are my FRIENDS. I STAND W YALL,” she wrote in series of since-deleted tweets about Walker’s alleged abuse, HipHopDX reports.

“Lemme make this very clear… i know his victims personally,” she said. “I was asked personally and privately to back them up because multiple large platformed people/celebrities had literally left them on READ. if speaking up for abused women makes me ‘getting in someone’s business’ if it makes me ‘messy’ then i’ll absolutely be that. i’ll take that over being the woman who was SILENT when came to personally for help,” Kehlani wrote on Twitter, according to Sohh.
