This is the face of the man who sent secretly-obtained intimate photos of a 15-year-old girl to like-minded perverts on social media. 

Michael Walker, of Harvey Place, Andover, was locked up last week (July 1) after he set up covert cameras in order to film the teenager showering and getting undressed. 

The News revealed his depraved crimes last week. Read the full story here. 

Now, this newspaper can exclusively reveal the criminal’s face as Thames Valley Police released his mugshot.

Last week, Reading Crown Court heard how Walker’s offending, which took place between February and August 2020, was uncovered by police after they found the 36-year-old’s depraved messages about recording the girl on Twitter. 

They traced the Twitter account’s IP address back to Walker and arrested him at his Bracknell residence.

Officers secured his devices and found that Walker had filmed the 15-year-old getting undressed after setting up secret recording equipment. 

Located on Walker’s devices were: 

  • 8 indecent videos, two of which were deemed to be the most explicit kind
  • 14 videos of extreme porn
  • 67 indecent images and two images of extreme porn
  • Chat logs that showed Walker had shared images of the girl with other Twitter users
  • Images of the girl that had been altered to include other lewd content
  • A video of Walker performing a sex act with pink underwear
  • Chat logs of sexually explicit conversations with a Twitter user who claimed to be 13-years-old
  • In a victim statement read by prosecutor Alex Radley, the girl said: “For days on end after I found out I struggled and put on a brave face. 

“I did not want to take a shower. All I wanted to do was cry for hours and hours. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Reading Crown Court heard how Walker’s family were “totally shocked and disgusted” by his actions given he had no previous convictions. 

His Honour Judge Nawaz, passing sentence, said the offences showed a “different side” to Walker. 

He added: “The most worrying part is that you distributed these images to others. 

“I have no doubt that if you were not arrested you would have continued to post [the images].”

Walker was handed a 32-month prison sentence for three counts of making indecent images, one count of distributing indecent images, and one count of voyeurism. He will serve half of this in custody before being released. 

The Andover man will have to sign the sex offenders register for ten years.
