Violence Against Women Update
Posted on | February 6, 2020 | 1 Comment
A Clearwater amateur boxer who is already facing a rape charge in connection with an incident last year has been charged with another rape — one that occurred inside a gym, arrest reports state.
William Walden, 34, was initially arrested [Jan. 27] in connection with a rape that occurred on Sept. 10 in the 700 block of N Saturn Avenue in Clearwater.
On Thursday, detectives lodged a second rape charge against him — this for an incident that occurred [Jan. 26], just a day before his arrest in the first case — at a gym in the 1700 block of N. Hercules Avenue, arrest reports state.
The reports state that a victim came to the gym for a pre-arranged meeting. Walden choked her until she lost consciousness, hit her in the head multiple times and knocked out one of her teeth. He dragged her to a secluded part of the gym and raped her, reports state.
He threatened the woman with future violence after the incident was over. The woman later underwent a victim exam that found physical evidence and injuries, reports state.
In a news release about Walden’s first arrest that Clearwater police put out earlier this week about Walden’s first arrest, investigators indicated they believed there may be other victims.
In the case from last year, police said Walden met the victim in the 1300 block of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and drove her to a parking lot off N Saturn Ave., police said. Then he dragged her from the vehicle, beat her and sexually assaulted her, according to police.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Walden was identified as the attacker through DNA, police said.
Walden has a lengthy criminal record that includes charges involving drugs, domestic battery and driving incidents.
Rape may not be Walden’s worst crime:
When Terri Oberle saw William Walden’s mugshot flash on the television screen, her heart sank.
Clearwater police arrested Walden [Jan. 27] and charged him in connection with a violent sexual assault that left the victim with so many injuries she was unable to move.
[Jan. 31], detectives charged him with an additional rape that took place at a Clearwater Gym.
For two months, Walden dated Oberle’s daughter, 24-year old Kaelin Rieger. Oberle found her daughter’s body floating in the backyard pool in September. She always felt Walden had something to do with it, although Largo Police detectives who investigated called the case closed with no indication of any foul play.
Rieger was known to do drugs. Investigators found evidence of drug use near the pool where her body was found. The medical examiner ruled the death was drug-related. But Oberle still believes to this day, there is more to this.
“Somebody’s not connecting the dots here, they’re not connecting the dots, my daughter’s dead, these girls are raped,” said Oberle, as she cried sitting behind photos of her daughter. “I’m broken-hearted. My daughter didn’t deserve this. She was so light-hearted. This guy’s evil.”
Two women raped, and the suspect’s ex-girlfriend “accidentally” drowned last year. But feminists don’t care, for some reason . . .
