36-year-old Akeen Warner was arrested on September 11th after he returned to the home of his ex-girlfriend after an argument. His ex, Doresha Blakely, was still hiding in the bathroom, which he entered while holding a gun at his side. As police arrived and knocked on the door, he demanded the victim move to the back bedroom with the juvenile children and remain quiet. He eventually surrendered to SRT officers after they arrived and de-escalated the situation. At some point during the incident, the victim retained Warnier’s cell phone.
At a later time, the victim would receive a phone call from one of Warner’s friends, asking her to delete specific images from his cell phone which captured him raping a five-year-old child. On a recorded jail phone call, he begged her not to tell the police, stating, “I don’t want to end up on Scoop!” [details in the linked story may be graphic]
