pedifile cop who violate their probation get special treatment from the court system Original Article Nov 17, 3:30 AM EST Ex-cop who's a registered sex offender can remain on probation TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A judge has ruled that a retired Tucson police officer who is now a registered sex offender will be allowed to remain on probation despite violating it. Authorities said Charles Kenneth Walter, a 21-year police veteran, was arrested in December 2003 after using the Internet to set up a sexual encounter with an undercover officer he believed to be an underage girl. Walter, who later retired from the force, was placed on probation and ordered to get counseling and register as a sex offender. On Monday, Pima County Superior Court Judge Howard Fell held a probation violation hearing at the request of Walter's probation officer. Fell was told Walter violated the terms of his probation by going places that weren't on his pre-approved weekly schedule, having stuffed animals in his car, socializing with someone else on probation and having contact with children. Walter, who now works at a tow yard, denied some of the allegations. On Wednesday, Fell placed Walter back on probation but told him that he will not have contact with minors under any circumstances and he will not stray from his schedule without prior permission.
