Overview

• Dustin Walker now faces child sexual abuse charges after a 99.9% DNA match identified him as the newborn’s father, and Cherie Walker is charged with enabling the abuse.
• Prosecutors amended the case to include six felony child-neglect counts, one related to the birth without medical care and five involving the couple’s other children.
• Investigators say the 11-year-old had no prenatal care and had not seen a doctor in more than a year, with officials noting she may have been homeschooled.
• Court documents state the children were found living in dog feces and without clothing, and all were removed from the home.
• Both defendants are held on $100,000 bonds, a Sept. 3 sounding docket is scheduled, and the district attorney says each charge is punishable by up to life with more counts possible.
