In 2024 Jake Walden of North Woodmere was arrested by the DOJ and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, one count each of receipt and possession of CSAM [child sexual abuse material], and two counts of accessing CSAM with intent to view CSAM. The charges involved Walden’s alleged purchasing of CSAM from a producer and distributor, as well as his alleged direct solicitation of minors online to produce live and recorded CSAM performances for him.
At a subsequent detention hearing the US Attorney alleged that Walden had in fact been in contact with 11 minors in total to solicit sexual performances. Walden had not been charged in connection with all 11 alleged solicitations.
Last week the US Attorney filed a superseding indictment against Walden adding two additional counts of sexual exploitation of a child reflecting two more alleged incidents of Walden engaging with minors to produce live and recorded CSAM performances.
Walden’s trial is currently scheduled for July 20th. He remains in detention.
Indictment.
