“You’re going to be introduced to the real Kaalan Walker, the man behind the movies. you’re going to see a dark side to him — a side that each of these women saw,” Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi told the jury. “You’re going to see that he’s a con artist, a predator who used his limited industry success to bait and trap these young girls, lure them to locations where they were alone, where he was in control, where they were vulnerable.”

Meanwhile, Andrew Flier, Walker’s attorney, accused the near-dozen accusers of “lying” in order to enact “revenge” on his client. Flier insisted that the girls and women were upset became they engaged in consensual sex and later regretted their decisions.
