Monster dad, 35, jailed after ‘traumatised’ stepdaughter, 11, gave birth to his baby in horror campaign of abuse
A MONSTER dad has been jailed for life after his “traumatised” 11-year-old stepdaughter gave birth to his child at home without medical care.
Dustin Joel Walker, 35, pleaded guilty to multiple counts of child neglect and one count of sexual abuse of a child under 12.

The Muskogee prosecutor said Walker was behind one of the most serious child sexual abuse and neglect cases she had ever seen.
He forced his 11-year-old stepdaughter to give birth to his child without any prenatal care – with court records showing she hadn’t seen a doctor in over a year.
Police only started an investigation when the child was taken to a hospital shortly after the birth.
A DNA test revealed his stepdaughter’s child had a 99.9 per cent match to him.

The girl had been taken out of school for some time to hide the pregnancy.
Assistant District Attorney Janet Hutson said: “This child is traumatised, she’s been through a horrific ordeal.
“I mean, not only has somebody gotten her pregnant, but she gave birth at home without medical assistance, and this will be her life for the rest of her life.”
Walker was handed a 42-year prison term followed by a life sentence from an Oklahoma judge.
He entered a blind guilty plea to multiple counts of child neglect and one count of sexual abuse of a child under 12.
A blind plea means no sentencing agreement was reached with prosecutors, leaving his fate entirely to the discretion of the judge.
Local authorities also discovered five other children shared between Walker and his wife Cherie living in “deplorable” conditions.
The youngsters, aged two to nine, were found covered in “dog faeces” and without any clothes on, court documents said.
There was also no air conditioning or running water in the property which was also said to be doused with urine.
Following the probe, authorities removed all six children, including the stepdaughter, from the household.
They are reportedly in state care.
Cherie, 33, was subsequently charged with enabling child sexual abuse.
The little girl’s maternal grandmother, Michelle Justus, claimed no one knew about the 11-year-old being pregnant.
Justus previously told KJRH: “I just want people to know, we did not know this was happening, none of us.
“They’ve made my daughter and my son-in-law a monster, they are not, they love those children, they love them.”
Justus initially tried to blame the pregnancy on a 12-year-old neighbourhood boy.

Walker must serve at least 85 per cent of his sentence before becoming eligible to apply for parole.
If he is ever released, he will face three years of mandatory supervision, must permanently avoid contact with the victims, and will be required to register as a sex offender for life.
