StumbleMan accused of trying to meet girl, 14, at McCarran for sex
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 | 1:27 p.m.
A Las Vegas man was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on charges that he tried to coerce a 14-year-old girl to have sex with him.
Darryl Owen Walizer, 42, allegedly tried to meet who he thought was a 14-year-old girl and her mother March 12 at McCarran International Airport. But he was met by undercover detectives who arrested him.
The case began when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities got information from the police department in Garland, Texas. Police said that one of their undercover detectives had been contacted by Walizer online.
Walizer is being charged with two federal crimes: coercion and enticement of a minor, and commission of a felony sex offense by someone required to register as a sex offender. Walizer has previous convictions in Ohio and Virginia.
If convicted, he faces 20 years to life in prison, as well as lifetime supervised release. The prosecutor on the case is Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy J. Koppe.
Walizer is scheduled to appear in federal court at 8:30 a.m. March 26.

Two words: Chemical Castration
This should be a standard response to all repeat sex offenders.
Damn you would think this pervert could at least go for someone who is 16. I mean really, 14? ewwww.....thats just discusting.
Couldn't we just three strike this guy? Hasn't he had enough chances to molest?
I wonder if he'll get released like the firefighter
did for virtually the same crime..
That firefighter got released?!?!?!
Chemical Castration: Dunk his privates in a vat of Sulfuric Acid for 8 Hours (Just to be sure). That should teach him.
whats that saying?...3rd times the charm? this guy has struck out in 2 other states and I hope they do not even consider putting this F back on our streets..
The highly paid firefighter was released on bail the day he was arrested. I wonder if any of his firefighter 'brothers' helped him with $$ to post bail????
Another firefighter , folks its time to do something about this and fast.
In france, a famous 80's singer has been arrested for a case like that.. he said that the girl told him that she was 18!
(please excuse my english.. I'm a poor little french girl who try to learn english...)
cpo, where does it say it was a firefighter? I must have missed that part because I can read...
Hey morons, the firefighter is still facing charges. He was treated no different way than any other person that is arrested. If the judge feels that it is safe for his release, then that is what happens. He is still subject to court, and subject to arrest if he doesn't show.
bond213 you may be able to read but you cant write. They should both have their little diks cut off with a knife with no drugs, medicine, or shots just have to sit there and deal with the pain and suffering.
The fire fighter was released because the judge said there was no real victim. It had nothing to do about being a flight risk. This perv has priors so he most likely will be held without bail. I hope the cops didn't make a mistake by saying the girl's mother was aware of the meeting. It may hurt their case on some of the charges. Yes I know they were under cover cops & no real girl or mother were involved.
ToddD, You are correct; I did have a grammar error - thank you for the correction. My intent was to point out that cpo was incorrect in stating this was a firefighter. Maybe I should have just made my point without the sarcasm, but I kind of thought the fact that he didn't read the article was kind of important in this case.
sick!
The sex offender problem in this country needs to be addressed the same way we address the criminally insane. Put 'em away , and sedate 'em.
What is wrong with you people Chemical Castration, surgical castration,remember those great Turkey days Tie the basta-d down on to chopping block with a dull axe and get all the good stuff then stick in a rubber hose so he or know she can p-e. that what you do...
Was he a firefighter?
Typical herd mentality on exhibit here -- all of you just assume the accusations are accurate and just, and that his prior convictions were sex-related. Meantime there was no victim, no one was injured, and the charges of "coercion and enticement" equally apply to his accusers. So who's the REAL criminal here?
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others." -- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82
Thomas Jefferson was a pervert too.
Rough -- what a childish post. Do you have anything actually relevant to contribute here?
Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner and had illegitimate children with his concubine?
How about that?
PBR -- and.....?
@ KillroyB
You hold Jefferson up to a high place and I don't. Thats why I attack his morals. You seem to think he is worthy of emulation by quotes. He was a horndog that took advantage of a slave. Kinda what Obama is doing to us.
VC: you're a real freakn JERK!! 14 verses 16??
What the hell difference is that ??? The boys inside the prisons...don't care much for guy like him. He'll be doing more than jail time inside those walls.
Ruff -- he was the architect of our freedoms and put his life on the line to give us the foundation for our Republic. Opinions vary.
John Adams had a hand in writing that thing too, and he wasn't canoodlin' with the help.
Was the 14 yr old gonna owen his walizer?
say what??
As the old saying goes is :
14 ..will get ya .. twenty !
This is not the 1700'S.We're supposed to be a bit more enlightened.
