LAFAYETTE —
Lafayette law enforcement are wrapping up an investigation into claims of sexual assault made by two women against Tyrunn Walker, a New Iberia native and former defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints.

Investigators declined to discuss the inquiry, which has been underway since March, but released a bare-bones initial report Thursday that confirmed the existence of the probe without naming any suspects.

Lafayette Parish District Attorney Keith Stutes said detectives forwarded their investigative findings to his office June 15. He said it was too soon to say whether he will present the evidence to a grand jury. "It's presently being reviewed," he added in a telephone interview.


While the initial report includes almost no details, civil court filings requesting a restraining order name both Walker and another man, who is identified as Justin Williams, while offering graphic accounts of the allegations. The two men are accused of forcing themselves on an unconscious woman at a hotel after a night of drinking at a nightclub here. The sexual assault was broken up when one of the women regained consciousness and pulled the men off of her friend, the filings allege.

Walker's agent did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Walker was released Thursday by the Los Angeles Rams, who had signed him earlier this year. Williams couldn't immediately be reached. His address in civil court records is listed as "confidential."

The attack allegedly occurred during the early morning hours of Mardi Gras Day, Feb. 28, and involved two young women, 18 and 19, who were college students at the time. One of the women said in the court records that she received serious injuries, including vaginal tearing.

In an interview Thursday, the other woman said she believes she was drugged while drinking at a dance club and described a harrowing ordeal after which she debated for weeks whether to pursue charges. She said the police seemed skeptical of the allegations from the outset and asked her whether she knew what she was "getting herself into."

"I didn't want him to have his life ruined," the woman said of the 27-year-old Walker. After the attack, she added, "it took me a while to realize what was really going on with me. I wouldn't get out of bed."

In a separate interview on Thursday, her friend described how "everything got really fuzzy" shortly after she received her fourth drink that night. "Somehow I had a drink in my hand and I have no idea where it came from," she said.

The Advocate does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault.

A Lafayette Police Department spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Both women said in their restraining order applications that on the night of the attack that they were drinking at the NiteTown club and had two-and-a-half or three drinks over the course of several hours. They described being separately approached by Walker and Williams and receiving drinks from the men. A message left at the club was not immediately returned.

In the applications, both women describe feeling disorientated or having memory loss after taking drinks from the men. One woman in the court records wrote that she remembers driving in a black Range Rover to a Courtyard Marriott near the airport, which she later identified using the location services on her iPhone. The hotel referred questions to an attorney, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Both women sought temporary restraining orders against Walker and Williams in the 15th Judicial District Court. The TRO was granted against Williams to the woman who appeared for the required court hearing. The woman who secured a restraining order alleged Walker and Williams both made her perform oral sex on them in the hotel parking lot after her friend had been taken up to a room, according to court records.

The same woman described in her filing not remembering much after taking a drink from Williams. At the hotel room, she described blacking out and then coming to with both men engaged in sex acts with her. The woman noted that Williams later contacted her, while Walker did not.

Her friend described in her application waking up to see Walker and Williams "surrounding" the other woman and Walker attempting to penetrate the woman. "I ripped him off of her while yelling at them to get off," she wrote.


Walker allegedly offered the women the hotel room for the night, saying he and Williams were leaving, but one of the women wrote that she demanded Walker take them to where they were staying for Mardi Gras.

Under National Football League policies, the allegations against Walker can subject him to league discipline.

The NFL's so-called personal conduct policy sets a baseline suspension of six games without pay for off-field behavior the league considers objectionable, whether or not it results in a conviction or even charges. The league enacted the rules in 2014 after a videotape surfaced showing ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking out his now-wife in a casino elevator.

Walker has long been a big name in New Iberia, not far from Lafayette. He helped Westgate High School win a state championship in basketball in 2008, and he was an all-state player for the football team there.

He signed with the Saints in 2012 as an undrafted free agent after stints at Tulsa and Jones County Junior College in Mississippi, where he was a junior-college All-America player.

He made the Saints' regular-season roster as a defensive lineman but didn't appear in any of the team's games that year — a sign that New Orleans was worried it would lose the 6-foot-3, 294-pound Walker to another organization if he was left on the club's practice squad.

Walker then played 23 regular-season games for the Saints over the next two seasons, registering 3 1/2 sacks, two pass break-ups and a forced fumble as a rotational player before New Orleans allowed him to sign with the Detroit Lions in 2015.

Walker's first season with the Lions was cut short after he broke his leg, and he left Detroit for Los Angeles after an unproductive campaign last year. League pundits projected him to fight for a backup spot on the Rams when he signed with them in March.

Disgusting.

I like Mike Purcell for that role and I believe obtaining Purcell enabled to release Walker.

I don't get why they released Cam Thomas.
I thought he looked pretty good.

What they tell us in the innumerable sexual assault prevention classes in the Army is that it's not about sex it's about power and control. However, not being a rapist myself I wouldn't actually know. As to necropholia, I know the definition can be fairly broad, but I also don't know if unconscious people qualify.

Most of the time when these things happen alcohol and drugs are involved. More than likely he would not be in this position if he had a clear head. This appears to be another stupid decision made under the influence of an intoxicant.

If he drugged them like implied, intoxicants have nothing to do with it. He had the drugs to give her, which means it was planned out. Now if they just all got rediculously drunk, then you'd be right. But you don't accidentally find drugs and drug someone because of booze.

This drug thing is getting outta control...I had always had a thought about how all these drugs were surrounding my neighborhood when growing up...They seemed everywhere...and either someone was using and selling them. I recently watched some of a program.... http://www.history.com/shows/americas-war-on-drugs in which it was basically pointed out how this bullshit started....and now, it's outta control...probably the only way to slow the spread...and slow the crime down is to legalize it... damn fucking shame...CIA...helping to get drugs in...make money..and finance criminal enterprises....created a fucking monster...that's gonna eat our people up...just evil if you ask me...probably some form of population control...and a reason to continue to look at black/brown people as demons....and fuel an economy of incarceration..I got a bunch of stuff running around in my mind...but the simplest is just the question of why? who could be that...sinister???

“Of course it wasn’t any kind of genocidal experiment or anything like that, what it was is the CIA basically being the CIA,” Lappé said. “They’re completely amoral and they don’t really look at the long term blowback effects of their operations.”
Bullshit....this is as calculated as you can get....studied then let loose on an unsuspecting population...If Communism is the enemy...why not let that shit loose over there? And that's evil too...Just as evil as giving pox infused blankets...
Sorry MODs...rant over...this has been in my craw for a few weeks....then I saw all the documentary

So yeah...I blame the drug induced Walker for committing a heinous crime...but the people that started this shit just sit back and what? They better get nervous...this shit is outta control. like a damn zombie movie.
