An Oklahoma man has pleaded guilty after sexually abusing and impregnating an 11-year-old.
On Thursday, Dustin Walker admitted in court to impregnating the child, who was his own stepdaughter.
WTAF.
An investigation was first launched into the case last summer after the young child was brought to the hospital after giving birth in August, according to court docs seen by FOX 23. Per the outlet, the girl had not been seen by a doctor for an entire year by the time she gave birth.
At the time, Dustin and the 11-year-old’s mother Cherie Walker, 33, claimed they didn’t know she was pregnant, according to KOTV News. The pair were both hit with child neglect accusations — charges which were later updated after a truly shocking revelation.

Sickening!!!
Dustin’s (mugshot above) charges were upgraded to sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12. Cherie’s (mugshot below) charges were upgraded to include enabling child sexual abuse.
Now, Dustin is set to face sentencing in June.
Poor little girl. We hope she is able to recover from the monstrous actions inflicted against her.
