ROCKINGHAM — A man with a history of theft is now accused of stealing innocence.
Richmond County Jail records show that 33-year-old Christopher Rahsean Walls was booked at 2:21 p.m. Oct. 31 on multiple sex crime charges involving a child.
Walls is charged with three counts each of second-degree forcible rape and statutory rape of a child, as well as two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and a single count of statutory sex offense with a child.
Jail records show the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office as the charging and arresting agency.
He was initially held without bond, however, records on Nov. 1 show his bond set at $300,000 secured. Walls is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 14.
Records with the N.C. Department of Adult Correction show Walls’ parole ended on May 7. He was released from prison in August of 2023 after serving 9 and a half months from a 2022 conviction on charges of felony breaking and entering, and credit card theft in Anson County.
At the same time, his probation was revoked from a 2021 conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon and receiving or possessing a stolen firearm.
Walls was first convicted in 2009 of resisting a public officer, and again in 2013 for driving while impaired.
Records show Walls was convicted on two counts of misdemeanor larceny in 2016, then of felony larceny and felony breaking and entering the following year. His probation on the felony conviction was revoked in 2019 and he served eight months behind bars.
All prior convictions were in Anson County.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
