Rapist's fate after his stepdaughter is forced to give birth at home

The vile Oklahoma stepfather of an 11-year-old girl will likely spend his life behind bars after she was forced to give birth to his child at home with no medical care. 

Dustin Joel Walker, 35, was sentenced to 42 years behind bars and a life sentence for abuse and neglect of a child after his stepdaughter was forced to carry his child to term and give birth at home. 

Walker entered a 'blind' guilty plea to six counts of child neglect and one count of sexual abuse of a child under 12 in March earlier this year. 

A blind plea occurs when there was no plea deal made, and the sentence length was left to the discretion of Muskogee County District Judge Timothy King.

Walker's stepdaughter was said to have given birth to a full-term child inside their home in August of last year, having never received any kind of prenatal care or medical assistance during the birthing process, authorities said. 

The child had gone to a local hospital shortly after giving birth, at which time Walker and her mother, Cherie Walker, were charged with neglect. A DNA test later revealed that the child was, with '99 percent certainty,' that of Walker's, prosecutors said. 

'This child is traumatized. She's been through a horrific ordeal,' Assistant District Attorney Janet Hutson said, Law & Crime reported. 

Walker stood in front of the court twice and apologized for his horrific actions. Upon his sentencing, he is also barred from contacting the victims.

Adults in the home, including Walker, the child's mother, Cherie, and maternal grandmother, Michelle Justus, were also found to have failed to provide the child with basic care, supervision or medical attention

'I mean, not only has somebody gotten her pregnant but she gave birth at home without medical assistance, and this will be with her life for the rest of her life.' 

According to the outlet, the child was also pulled out of school while pregnant, leaving little room for teachers or medical professionals to intervene, Hutson added. 

'The child had been out of school for a period of time, and it is my understanding that children may have been homeschooled,' she said. 

An investigation revealed that Walker had abused the 'rather petite' child on numerous occasions, resulting in the pregnancy. 

Adults in the home, including Walker, the child's mother, Cherie, and maternal grandmother, Michelle Justus, were also found to have failed to provide the child with basic care, supervision or medical attention. 

She was said to have not visited the doctor in over a year.  

However, both Cherie and Justus denied any knowledge of the pregnancy. 

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.'

The child's grandmother Michelle Justus, seen above, previously said that they had no knowledge of the pregnancy and said 'they've made my daughter and my son-in-law a monster. They are not. They love those children. They love them'

The grandmother previously accused a local 12-year-old boy of raping the young girl. 

Cherie was also charged with enabling child sexual abuse, NBC News reported.
