Geoffrey Walker, Distribution of Child Pornography, Louisiana 2014

San Francisco Man Faces Decades in Prison for Distributing Child Pornography in Louisiana.

A 65-year-old San Francisco man has pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography in Louisiana, federal authorities announced today. Geoffrey Walker, 65, of San Francisco, California, entered the guilty plea in connection with a federal investigation into the sexual exploitation of children and the distribution of child pornography in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

According to court documents, Walker was utilizing his email account to distribute child pornography from California to Louisiana. Federal law enforcement agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI, conducted an undercover operation into the sexual exploitation of children and the distribution of child pornography in the Eastern District of Louisiana. On September 5, 2014, a federal search warrant was executed at Walker’s residence in California, and HSI agents seized his computer pursuant to the search warrant.

HSI agents established that on eleven different occasions, Walker emailed sexually explicit images of minors to an undercover HSI agent located in New Orleans. A subsequent computer forensic search of Walker’s computer by HSI yielded over 9,000 images and over 1,000 videos depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit activity.

Walker faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years, followed by up to a lifetime term of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. In addition, Walker will be required to register as a sex offender. U.S. Judge Susie Morgan set sentencing for August 12, 2015.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the federal government to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite praised the work of the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, HSI in investigating this matter. Project Safe Childhood Coordinator and Fraud Section Chief, Assistant U. S. Attorney Brian M. Klebba is in charge of the prosecution.

Geoffrey Walker’s guilty plea is a significant blow to those who would seek to exploit and harm children. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates on the sentencing and any subsequent developments.
