During the trial, Walker’s attorney Andrew Flier claimed the women sought revenge, alleging his client had experienced a “living nightmare.”
Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi argued the victims did not know each other, and the “single thing that unites all of these women is the defendant Kaalan Walker.”
His sentencing comes after he was convicted in April. At the time one of the victims, Sydney Stanford, shared a response on social media.
“This has been happening since 2017,” Stanford explained. “It has felt like a never ending nightmare. I have been in survival mode for 5 years. It is finally over. May this be your reminder that justice IS possible. Your story does matter and that someone will believe you. This will never happen again. To all his survivors I have and haven’t met, I love you by default and congratulations.”
