Authorities say Pa. officer coerced sexual favors

Authorities in suburban Philadelphia say a man used his position as a part-time police officer to harass and sexually assault women.

Forty-three-year-old Kevin Walker was arrested yesterday and charged with rape, stalking and other offenses.

Delaware County District Attorney Michael Green says Walker preyed on vulnerable women while in uniform for Darby Township police over the past few years.

According a criminal complaint, Walker coerced sexual favors from two women while at the police station. Authorities say he harassed a third woman who rebuffed his advances.

Walker was suspended from the force in July when officials learned of the allegations. He has also been suspended from his position as an elected state constable for the city of Chester.

Walker’s lawyer could not be reached for comment last night.
