Former Florida nanny, foster parent nabbed on child porn charges; She says she’s a self-employed PORN ACTRESS

A former nanny and foster parent in Pensacola, Florida, was arrested on Monday on child sex charges with at least two juveniles, and deputies there are concerned there may be more victims, according to NorthEscambia.com.

Nicole Lynn Walter, 27, calls herself a self-employed porn actress, and investigators have uncovered at least three videos in which Walter recorded herself masturbating while in the presence of young children, according to the arrest report.

Additionally, a three-year-old girl told detectives that Walter, who has also gone by the names Nicole Steff and Nicole Stearns, touched her private parts and took photographs.

Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan asked parents “if your children have ever been in the care of Nicole Walter, Steff, or Stearns,” to contact Investigator Jeremy Horn at (850) 436-9586 or by email at jahorn@Escambiaso.com. He said she had previously worked as a nanny and was a licensed foster parent.

The sheriff’s office said it began its investigation of Walter in January when the Florida Abuse Hotline received a tip about possible abuse, the Pensacola News Journal reported. Investigators were given a thumb drive containing three videos showing Walter masturbating in public places while carrying on conversations with children.

When they executed a search warrant on Walter’s home, detectives found a micro SD card containing child pornography of a pre-teen girl posing in sexual positions, the arrest report said. The also found videos on a laptop computer of Walter completely nude and masturbating in the presence of children and a third person whose name was redacted, NorthEscambia.com said. One of those videos was 30 minutes long, the report said.

While the report does not clarify if the children are shown on the videos, it’s clear from children were in the room and aware of what was going on. Some of the imagery may have been shot in Walter’s home, Morgan said, or elsewhere in the county.

The report said Walter told detectives she uploads the material to pornographic websites for paying “clients.”

“She is now in custody,” Morgan said. “The community is safe from at least this one predator.”

The arrest report said she did not come along quietly. According to the arrest report, she began screaming and tried to hit a deputy.

Walter was charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition with a victim under 16, possession of child pornography, battery of a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest with violence. She’s being held in Escambia County Jail without bond and is expected in court on May 14.
