Twelve years ago, George Allen Walker knocked on the door of a St. Paul home and forced his way inside when a 17-year-old girl opened it. Then he choked her, pushed her into a bedroom and raped her.

On Thursday, less than a month after his release from prison, he did the same thing to another woman in downtown St. Paul, according to charges filed against him Friday in Ramsey County District Court.

This time, Walker knocked on the door of an apartment on Sibley Street around 6 p.m. and asked the woman who answered if “Michelle” was home, charges say.

The woman told him no and closed the door. Five minutes later, she heard another knock and again found Walker standing outside her door, the woman told police.

This time he asked to use her phone. When she offered to place the call for him instead, he pushed his way inside her apartment, the complaint said.

The woman screamed as he shoved her into the kitchen, and briefly broke free from his grip, but Walker chased her, putting her in a chokehold as he took the phone from her hands saying, “You’re not calling anyone,” charges say.

The woman was holding her small dog at the time, and Walker forced her to place the animal in her dryer before leading her into her bedroom and raping her, the woman told police.

Afterward, he made her clean herself off in the shower and then directed her to stand in a closet until she heard her door close, the complaint said.

After he left, the woman discovered that her purse and cellphone were missing. She contacted her daughter, who took her to the St. Paul police department to report the crime.

Officers used the GPS tracking device on the woman’s phone to find Walker, who was staying at a treatment facility in the 900 block of Marion Street in St. Paul.

Police went to the facility and first spoke with other residents there. They told officers that the group had gone to the YMCA at Sixth and Sibley streets in Lowertown that night. While most of the residents played basketball, Walker said he would be in another area of the gym lifting weights, according to the complaint.

The group didn’t see Walker again for most of the time they were there, the complaint said.

Police questioned Walker, who initially said he was at the YMCA all evening and denied having any interaction with the woman. He later admitted going to the woman’s apartment and raping her, telling officers his actions were fueled by anger when the woman wouldn’t let him use her phone, the complaint said.

Her purse and phone were reportedly found in his room.

Walker is expected to make his first appearance on the charges Monday morning. No attorney was listed for him in court records.
