A female inmate at Silverdale Detention Center has been charged with rape in connection with an incident last month in which she insisted on sharing a bed with another woman, according to a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office incident report.
When investigators asked the suspect, Nikkie Nicole Walker, 35, about the incident, she claimed it was consensual, the incident report said.
The 53-year-old victim told investigators that Walker insisted on sharing the bed after Walker saw her sleeping on the floor without a mat, the report said. The two had been sharing the bed for a few nights with no physical contact before the alleged rape, authorities said.
The sexual assault allegedly occurred while the victim slept shortly before 4 a.m. March 23, according to the report.
