A 26-year-old man was arrested after allegedly assaulting and pimping out a 17-year-old girl who escaped from being held against her will, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said.
In a press release Saturday, the Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the Ramada Inn near Auburn Boulevard and Fulton Avenue about a female who had been assaulted. Deputies arrived to find that the 17-years-old victim was being trafficked and pimped out for sex.
The victim told detectives she had had sex with the suspect, identified as Alfred Walker, who was then driving her to various cities to perform commercial sex acts, the Sheriff's Office said. After telling him that she did not want to work on the street as a sex worker, Walker repeatedly threatened her life, pointing a handgun at her, and in one incident, pouring hot coffee on her, the office said.
In another instance, when the victim attempted to leave Walker, he allegedly told her he would shoot any family members or friends who arrived to rescue her, the Sheriff's Office said. The threats and intimidation allegedly allowed Walker to continue exploiting her as a sex worker.
Detectives learned that Walker communicated with all the sex clients to coordinate sex acts between buyers and the victim and would keep all of the money himself, the Sheriff's Office said. Detectives learned Walker also had an unrelated felony domestic violence warrant and began searching for him for several days in various areas throughout Sacramento County.
On Thursday at about 10:30 p.m., detectives found Walker driving on the 4600 block of Fruitridge Road and performed a traffic stop, detaining him without incident. The Sheriff's Office said a search of his vehicle yielded a fully loaded 1911 handgun, along with about 32 grams of presumed methamphetamine.
Detectives also learned of a second victim who was also rescued. Details about the victim and the circumstances of the victim's rescue were not available. The Sheriff's Office said detectives fear there are likely several more unreported victims that may have potentially been pimped and/or trafficked by Walker.
Walker was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on multiple felonies and was being held without bail.
He was scheduled to appear in court on March 3.
Anyone who has been a victim or may have information about the investigation was urged to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office at (916) 874-5115 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP. The office said tips leading to additional charges may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1000.
