Pensacola nanny and self-proclaimed porn star, 27, arrested for performing sex acts in front of 3-year-old girl

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA: A former nanny who claims herself to be a ‘porn star’ has been arrested on Monday, April 20, as she allegedly performed sexual acts in front of a three-year-old girl. The young girl told detectives that she saw Nicole Lynn Walter take photographs and touch her private parts.
 
Two other children also spoke against Walter and claimed that she touched herself in front of a camera, as said by the Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan. It has also been said that the 27-year-old had earlier worked as a nanny and was also a licensed foster parent.
 
As per reports, the investigation into the case began in January when the Florida Abuse Hotline was alerted about possible sexual abuse. A search warrant was issued at the time and when detectives assessed her home, they found sick pictures of a pre-teen girl posing in sexual positions on a micro-SD card. 
 
They also discovered videos on her laptop of Walter wearing nothing and masturbating while "constantly engaging her children in conversation”. After her arrest, Walter has reportedly told officials that she uploads the images and videos to websites for paying "clients".
 
“When we first got the reports on Ms Walter and started the investigation, upon the search warrant that was executed at her home, that's where we found child pornography, and in that child pornography, are depictions of children that possibly are in that home or somewhere in Escambia County,” Morgan said in a live Facebook video as he announced the arrest.
 
He also urged the people to help them in the investigation as there were possibilities other children also might have come in contact with Walter, who has also used the names, Nicole Steff and Nicole Stearns in the past. “We're asking for your assistance. Again if your child ever had contact with this lady, that you get a hold of our investigator. And again, for the sake of your child, let's make sure that we eliminate them as a possibility for molestation by this individual,” he added.
 
In the video, Morgan also stated that Walter is “now in custody”. “The community is safe from at least this one predator,” he noted.
 
Reports have claimed that she is currently being held in Escambia County Jail and is expected to appear in court on May 14. She has been charged with possessing child pornography, lewd and lascivious behavior with a victim under 16, aggravated assault and resisting arrest with violence.
 
The sheriff in the video also warned parents about online child abuse since the cases have increased during the coronavirus lockdown. Morgan insisted, “These people are in our communities, unfortunately, and they're preying upon our children. So it's incumbent upon all of us, not just in law enforcement, but certainly the citizens of Escambia County, and especially you parents, to please, please monitor your children."
 
In March, the FBI has also sent a dire warning about the increased risk of child abuse online when schools are closed due to COVID-19 pandemic and "children will potentially have an increased online presence and/or be in a position that puts them at an inadvertent risk."
 
“Online sexual exploitation comes in many forms. Individuals may coerce victims into providing sexually explicit images or videos of themselves, often in compliance with offenders' threats to post the images publicly or send the images to victims' friends and family. Other offenders may make casual contact with children online, gain their trust, and introduce sexual conversation that increases in egregiousness over time,” the agency wrote in a March 23 memo.
