WINNEBAGO, Neb. -- A Winnebago man was given prison time after he was convicted of abusive contact with a minor.

Acting U.S. Attorney Susan Lehr said 41-year-old Alan Walker, of Winnebago, was sentenced in federal court in Omaha on Thursday. He was convicted for abusive sexual contact with a minor and for failing to register as a sex offender. Walker will serve 108 months in prison with a five-year term of supervised release after. There is no parole in the federal system.

According to court documents, Walker went into a family residence and groped an 11-year-old child’s buttocks as the child slept in Sept. 2022. The child woke up to Walker’s inappropriate touching and reported his conduct to a trusted adult, who told law enforcement.

Officials said in 2012, Walker was convicted in the District Court of Douglas County for sexual assault of a child in the third-degree, requiring him to register as a sex offender. Walker failed to update his registered address as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act in Sept. 2022.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
