YORK — A 70-year-old Gloucester man was sentenced Tuesday in York County to serve 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a young girl in 2006.

Douglas Lawrence Walker was sentenced in York-Poquoson Circuit Court by substitute Judge William C. Andrews III to 10 years in prison, with five years suspended, on each of two felony charges of aggravated sexual battery of a child under 13 years old. He was also ordered to be on probation for 20 years after his release.

The sentence was ordered to run consecutively with prison time Walker received earlier this year in Gloucester County for sexually assaulting another victim in a separate incident, Assistant York-Poquoson Commonwealth's Attorney Barbara Cooke said. Walker was ordered to serve five years of a 20-year sentence in that case.

That gives Walker — who is wheelchair bound after suffering two strokes since his legal troubles began — a total of 15 years to serve in prison in regards to the York County and Gloucester charges.

Walker was indicted by a grand jury in November but his hearing dates this year were continued several times due to his medical condition.

At his May 25 trial in York County, Walker contended he was engaged in roughhousing with a young girl his granddaughter was baby-sitting at the time. Walker testified that the girl entered his motor home behind his house, where he would watch television, and he would playfully grab her. But Andrews said Walker's intentions were sexual.

Also during his testimony in March, Walker portrayed his interaction with the girl as grandfatherly. But the girl testified that he made her feel violated more than once.
