Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today I'm
gonna bring you something a little different. No rich and
famous salatious stories today. It is a salacious story, but
it doesn't regard the rich and famous. And honestly, I
should call this episode the trend, but I'm gonna call
(00:38):
it a mother's betrayal and you're gonna find out why. Now,
this story is not only trending everywhere you look online,
but the subject of this story is so despicable that
she deserves as much exposure as she can possibly get. And,
as y'all know, that is my specialty. So let's die
(01:00):
to this case, which is out of Illinois, where a
forty three year old mother had a baby with a
fourteen year old boy. Now, if that weren't enough to
knock you out of your seat right now, it's also
discovered when this came out that this fourteen year old
boy was actually her daughter's junior high dance date. Now,
(01:24):
I don't know if they were a boyfriend and girlfriend
or if they just went to a dance together, but
they definitely knew each other. And as a matter of fact,
she's chaperoned that junior high dance, meaning Robin Polston. We'll
get into the details of how all this happened. So
this fourteen year old boy, he graduates from the eighth grade.
(01:47):
This is in twenty twenty three, and he discovers that
he's moving. His stepmother and his father were moving to Nevada.
Of course he was going with them, but he has
family in Illinois. As a matter of fact, his grandparents
were there, and he would go back and forth several
(02:08):
times to Illinois after moving to visit his grandparents, and
he would also visit his friends while he was in Illinois.
Now one of these friends were none other than Robin's
teenage son. So he would ask his grandparents and his
parents while he was visiting if he could spend the
night with his friend, et cetera. And there's nothing out
(02:31):
of the ordinary. There seems quite normal. You move away
your fourteen year old kid, you miss your buddies, and
you want to see him when you go back in town.
So that's not going to raise any red flags. And
of course everybody was agreeable to that, and he would
do that when he would come back and forth, and
the grandparents. They would even confirm that it was okay
(02:53):
with Robin Poulston that their son spend the night with
her teenage son. And she would say, yeah, it's all good.
They're friends. I get it that he's, you know, moved
to Nevada, probably hasn't made a whole lot of friends there,
so sure he can come stay with me and my
you know, hang out with my son. So we're in
twenty twenty four by this point now with the grandparents
(03:16):
and the parents, didn't they is that he was not
going there to see his friend. That was a front.
He was really going there to see his friend's forty
three year old mother, Robin Poulston. So this type of
arrangement would occur just about every time this kid would
visit his grandparents, and apparently his behavior it would completely
(03:42):
change when he would head back to Nevada. He would
just get this kind of jerk attitude. He would be
a smart ass, and his dad and his step mom,
they would initially chalk this up to the fact that
he was kind of having difficulty adjusting to this move
to Nevada. You know, you got to go to a
new school, you got to get new friends, all that
(04:04):
sort of thing. He just missed his friends in Illinois,
and this was his way of dealing with these emotions.
He would just kind of be an asshole for a
few days whatever, But it got so bad that he
would start threatening to run away. When he was in Nevada,
he wanted back in Illinois, and he was eventually able
(04:27):
to convince his dad to allow him to move in
with his grandparents back in Illinois, and his dad, fearful
of his son's mental health at this point and not
sure really what to do, he agrees to it. So
this fourteen year old boy he moves back to Illinois,
and despite that, he was still having some behavior issues
(04:51):
with his grandparents. Well enter Rhyman Polston. She talks to
his grandparents and I don't know any of this to
be one hundred percent fact, but I'm just kind of
speculating here. Maybe they confide it in her because her
son was spending so much time with their son or whatever,
and said, look, you know, I don't know what this
(05:12):
fourteen year old boy's problem is, but he's really being
a smartass and he's really been a lot to handle.
Who knows, But what we did know is that Robin Poulston.
She speaks with them and she says, hey, I think
I can straighten out this kid. He just kind of
needs a mother figure in his life all the things.
(05:34):
And Robin suggests they let their grandsons stay with her
in her family for a while to see if it
would help his behavior issues in the grandparents. They agree
to this. Now, the first really crazy little tidbit to
this story is that his grandparents they never told his
(05:55):
dad in his stepmom about this agreement. I don't know,
maybe they fought that his dad and stepmom would be
against it, but regardless, they kept it from the dad.
So fast forward to the fall of twenty twenty four.
This point, this fourteen year old is living with Robin
(06:15):
Poulston and her daughter and her son, and Robin Polston
was a hairdresser, stylist, whatever, cosmatologist. She starts telling her
clients that she's pregnant, and as you can imagine, they're
excited about that because she was excited about that. And
as you can imagine, when you're excited about that and
(06:37):
you tell your friends and you tell your clients, typically
they are excited for you as well. In this situation
is no different. They're just so happy for their friend.
I mean, she's forty three years old and she's pregnant.
That ind and of itself isn't exactly a common thing. Now, Polston,
(06:57):
she was married, that's important to mention, But she had
been estranged from her husband for some twelve years at
this point, and I don't even know if most of
her friends and clients knew that she was still married.
So naturally, people in most cases, they're going to ask, well,
who's the father, And Robin would tell them that the
(07:22):
father was a guy she was dating in the military,
and that he was gone a lot, but they're in love,
all those sort of things, and that was her excuse
as to why her friends had not met this guy
in her clients. Now, another thing that her friends and
clients would notice is that this fourteen year old boy,
(07:43):
he was always around her, hanging with her all the time.
And when they would ask Robin, who is this kid
that you're hanging out with, she would tell them that
it was her military boyfriend's younger brother. Now, some other
folks like her photographer, for example, Ample and we'll get
into that later, but she would actually tell them that
(08:04):
this fourteen year old kid was her boyfriend. But she
would also tell them that this kid was actually twenty
five years old and he just looked younger. So in
January of twenty twenty five, Robin Poulston she gives birth
to a healthy baby boy. She is like any other
(08:26):
mother out there when she gives birth, right, she takes
hundreds of pictures, She's updating her social media. She's just
happy and excited. And guess who's right there with her
at the hospital along with the rest of her family,
meaning her son and daughter. Well, you guessed it, that
(08:48):
fourteen year old boy, Jim.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Did you see what happened in Texas today?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you
what happened in New York.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told
you about yesterday in Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You know what, we should do a podcast about it,
and with that we did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Crime War Weekly covers the crime news headlines that have
dominated the week.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
We cover trending crimes from all over the country and
even sprinkle in a few globally.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Crime War Weekly is available now wherever you listen to
your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Simply by searching Crime War Weekly or clicking the link
in the description of this podcast. As I said, there
were tons of pictures after this birth that when you
look at these pictures, you would definitely be taking these
(09:45):
type of pictures with the father of the baby, not
pictures you would take with your son's friend who was
just staying at your home. I'm talking just the three
of them, Robbin, the baby, and the fourteen year old.
Just a ton of pictures like that were uploaded by
Robin to her Facebook. So, just like I look at
(10:09):
those things as red flags, so did a lot of
other people. And they start doing their own examining on
who this boy was, their own detective work, if you will.
And somebody somewhere they got a stute and they got
a hold to a yearbook from the junior high school
(10:32):
and they're flipping through it and lo and behold, there's
a picture of this fourteen year old eighth grade boy
that Robin was claiming to some people was her twenty
five year old boyfriend that just looked fourteen, and was
claiming to other people that it was her boyfriend's younger brother.
So they reported whoever this was, I don't have that knowledge,
(10:57):
but they report it to police. So at this point
police start investigating, and of course they go to Robin
Polston and she denies that anything is going on with
this fourteen year old, much less that he is the
father of this baby. They get Robin Poulston's DNA and
(11:18):
they have a warrant for this. From what I understand,
the baby's DNA and the fourteen year olds DNA. Now,
the issue with DNA is it can take anywhere from
six to twelve months to get those results back. And
you have a procedure in Illinois, and really all states
(11:38):
have this sort of procedure, and that is that for
it to be admissible in court, it has to go
through a crime lab. You can't just send it to
you know, whatever it is, one two, three and meters
or whatever it's called. You can't send it to places
like that. It's got to go through an actual state
crime lab. And the just simply backed up. Now, remember
(12:02):
this is Illinois. What's in Illinois? Chicago, one of the
most crime ridden cities in the country and the murder
capital of the nation. It seems like so I get
it that they were backed up. I think it sucks,
but I get it. So at the time, which now
(12:24):
we're in April of twenty twenty five police, they have
no proof of any of this. This kid's not talking.
Robin Polston's certainly not talking. So the DNA is the
proof that they need, and they really have to just
wait for those results before they can make any sort
of arrest. They just have no proof of him being
(12:47):
the father of this baby. And as I said, the boy,
he's not admitting to it, and Robin for sure is
not admitting to it. But certainly the pressure was on
for Robin Poulston. And she tells this fourteen year old
that he couldn't live there anymore because of this investigation,
(13:08):
and she actually throws him out. He moves out, and
he moves back in with his dad and his stepmom,
and from what I understand, he actually starts attending school again.
And we'll get into the fact that he wasn't attending
school in just a minute. But shortly after she was
initially reported, some really disturbing photos of Robin surface with
(13:35):
this fourteen year old. And I'll post the photos that
I've come across on the Patreon, but y'all just will
not believe these pictures. To describe a few, there's one
picture where she appears nine months pregnant. Okay, she's in
a white almost looks like a wedding dress, and this
(13:59):
kid is behind her. His arms are wrapped around her,
this fourteen year old kid. His arms are wrapped around her,
and he's holding the sides of her belly, and she
has her head kind of tilted into his chest as
as she's gonna, you know, kiss him. And he's facing
(14:20):
the camera, and there's another where he's facing her. Okay,
his back is turned away from the camera and her
hands are on his shoulders and in her hands. Or
the sonogram pictures would really be a cute picture if
you have a baby with somebody, if the boy wasn't
(14:42):
fourteen years old, if it was like, you know, twenty
eight and twenty eight, right, just really sick shit, knowing
what we know now. And yeah, she was posting all
these pics with this kid on her social media. She
wasn't trying to hide it. Now, keep in mind, this
(15:03):
is her daughter's at least x date. Somebody she knew.
What was her daughter thinking. I mean, there's no way
she didn't know that something had to be going on
with this boy. In my opinion, I just feel horrible
for her daughter. I can't imagine. Now. It has also
(15:25):
come out, as I said earlier, that her father had
no idea that this kid was even living at Robin's house.
A lot of people are like, how did his dad
not know? Did he even talk to the sun And
the shorter answer is not much. It appears he didn't
speak to his son like every day. That's very bizarre
(15:45):
to me. I have three kids, I talk to them
all the time. Just very strange to me, but hey,
it is what it is. And when they did talk,
his son would just say he's hanging out with his
friend at Robin Paulsen's house, and his dad would talk
to the grandparents and they would actually play it off
as if his kid was still living with them. I
(16:09):
have no idea why, but it is what it is.
That was a situation. And it also came out that
the night that Robin Pulstin kicked this kid out of
the house, after all those initial allegations came out, it
was three o'clock in the morning and he walked to
some business in the middle of the night. It's freezing
(16:33):
cold outside. All he has is the clothes on his back.
According to reports, he didn't even have a jacket on
and he called his dad to pick him up, and
he also let his dad know that, in addition to
the DNA, that the police had also confiscated his cell phone. Now,
(16:53):
somewhere in there, there's a report that the boy had
three cell phones on him when his dad picked him up,
that his dad noticed that, and supposedly they were burn
her phones. I'm not going to really report too much
on that because it's so hazy, but it is, you know,
there for information. So after all of this, a Facebook
(17:16):
post is made by Robin's sister in law. Remember I
told you she was still married, but she was a
strange for twelve years from her husband. So her sister
in law makes a Facebook post and I'm going to
read that Facebook post to you. It's very interesting and
(17:39):
here's what she said. I'm having a hard time finding
the right words, but stay with me. Robin Polston was
my sister in law. She had me believing she was
dating a man in the military and was having a
baby with him. There were red flags that just kept
adding up. She manipulated me from the beginning into supporting
(18:03):
this pregnancy. The ugly truth is she was dating her
sixteen year old daughter's ex boyfriend. He was fourteen at
the time she got pregnant. She hid him in her
house for over a year and none of his family
knew where he was the whole time until they got
a call from the police department stating that they needed
(18:26):
his DNA and then she puts in parentheses. Cannot imagine
a parent's worst nightmare. She continues to have custody of
all three of her children, multiple calls to the police
department for welfare checks as well as DCFS. For some reason,
even though she's being investigated for having a child with
a fourteen year old boy, she is still able to
(18:49):
keep her kids. I'm terrified for these kids and all
their friends who go through that house now. And that's
something she actually brings up a good point. You know,
her kids are around the same age, so they have
friends that are around the same age. How bizarre is that?
Feel so horrible for those kids, But I'll continue on now.
(19:11):
I have been turned out to be the bad guy
because I'm not turning a blind eye to it. I've
lost a sister, my niece, and nephew, and our relationships
will never be the same again. Most importantly, justice has
not been taken because they are still waiting on DNA
evidence to prove the fourteen year old as the father
of the baby, because she claims she was quote catfished
(19:35):
by this boy and had no idea who he was. Oh, also,
it was a one night stand quote unquote. Anybody looking
at the photos can see he is the same human
her daughter used to date. The systems are failing. The
new loss in Illinois make it impossible for her to
be arrested and held if they don't have all the
(19:57):
evidence up front, which is bullshit because everyone can see
right through her lives and they could see this boy
as a baby, a child, just barely a team boy.
It's been two months since this has been reported. She
mothered him and groomed him, taking him under her wing
as he lost his biological mother and had other sick
(20:19):
plans to manipulate him into a relationship. He wasn't even
enrolled in school that whole year. Her children are being
forced to lie for her and won't speak out against her.
I have been sick over this, and I will continue
to be sick until justice is served. Something has to give,
(20:40):
and that was from her sister in law, and I
couldn't agree with that. More so that post is posted,
and time passes and pressure mounts, not only on Robin,
but on the police. Remember, outrage is hitting Illinois, and
this thing goes national. Large creators start covering the case,
(21:05):
and no one could understand why there had not been
unarrested yet. And then just a week or so ago,
on November three, it happened the state of Illinois gets
a DNA match proving this fourteen year old boy was
the father of forty three year old Robin Poulston's now
(21:28):
eleven month old baby.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the Bayous whisper
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Derek Todd Lee was
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality. He was
a monster. Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,
led a double life would unravel in a series of
(22:01):
murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and the
surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and murders
began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the
(22:21):
depths of Derek Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families
and the survivors. This is DTL.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
A rest warrant is issued, and I'm going to review
that rest warrant with you. Now here's how that reads.
It was actually filed in November fourth of twenty twenty five,
and it says I Cassandra mullikan In, an assistant State
Attorney General for Taswell County, Illinois or Tazewell. I've reviewed
(22:59):
the police police reports regarding the investigation and would like
to state the following. On February sixth of twenty twenty five,
Officer Thomas of the Washington Police Department took a report
regarding Robin Polston giving birth in January of twenty twenty
five to a child. On February thirteenth of twenty twenty five,
(23:19):
Detective Hincn obtained a birth certificate for Polston's child, identifying
him as and it's redacted out. The father's information was blank.
The child shared the same middle and last name as
a perpetrated and it's blank, and we can infer that
to be the fourteen year old boy. On February twentieth
(23:40):
of twenty twenty five, Detective Hinkin made contact with Polston.
Polston claimed that the father of her child was a
man in his twenties name Brian. Polston also claimed that
she had not seen him since the child's birth. Detective
hincn obtained DNA samples from Polston and her child and
it's redacted it out, and later that evening, Detective Henkin
(24:02):
was able to make contact with and obtain and it's
the fourteen year old boys DNA as well. DNA samples
were sent to the Illinois State Police and percentage analysis
was conducted which confirmed blank redacted out that's the fourteen
year old boy and Poulston were the parents of, and
(24:24):
of course it's redacted out the child. During the investigation,
Detective Henkin spoke with redacted out's father, stepmother, and grandparents
the fourteen year old boy, and Detective Henkin learned that
the fourteen year old boy in Poulston's daughter had attended
a school dance together in May of twenty twenty three,
which Poulston had chaperoned. Shortly thereafter, fourteen year old moved
(24:48):
out of the area and then returned around April of
twenty twenty four and Junia of twenty twenty four for
quote brief visits to see a friend. In August of
twenty twenty four, fourteen year old boy permanently moved back
to the area to live with the family of quote friend.
During further investigation, police obtained a search warrant for the
(25:10):
Google accounts associated with the fourteen year old boy. A
cell phone which had been seized and also downloaded provided
within the data from Google where a large number of
sexually explicit images and videos depicting fourteen year old boy
and Pulston together y'all. Included within these photographs were two
(25:32):
photographs in which fourteen year old boy can be seen
performing and it's redacted out on the redacted of Pulston.
And examining the photographs, it can be determined that Pulston
is responsible for taking the photographs and it goes on
to say that the defendant is charged with two counts
(25:54):
of sexual assault, a Class one felony offense for which
a sentence of imprisonment is required by law, and then
it goes on to add two more counts to that.
So there you have it. She is arrested. And here's
the interesting thing. Now, typically you get arrested and then
(26:15):
you see a judge and you get your bond amount
and you post bond until your coordinate. However, in this case,
a no bond order was issued by the judge. Apparently
this judge feels that there is just too much risk
with Pulston possibly attempting to contact this kid and maybe
(26:40):
try to keep him from talking. So as of this recording,
she is still in jail and still this kid is
not talking. And this is really the result, y'all when
a lot of this six shit happens. This poor kid,
he's in love with this woman, this forty three year
old woman thirty years practically thirty years older than him.
(27:04):
She groomed him, she manipulated him, she raped him, which
when it's a fourteen year old and it's a forty
three year old, it's rape. And now an innocent baby
is involved. All because of this just disgusting, sick and
twisted mind of this forty three year old woman. Now
(27:29):
ask yourself this, why did it take so long the DNA?
I get that, But the circumstantial evidence was certainly there
in this case, in tons of it, And people have
been convicted much not you know, much less arrested. People
have been convicted just solely off of circumstantial evidence, and
(27:51):
there was a ton of it here. But flip that
script for a second. What if this was a forty
three year old man in a fourteen year old girl.
Imagine the outrage that would ensue. Then you think this
(28:12):
person would have been arrested a lot sooner. I don't.
Most bet you every dollar I got that arrest would
have been made much sooner. And that's what I'm trying
to get at y'all. When I bring you these types
of cases, I'm trying to do what I can to
(28:32):
remove that double standard. So for now, there you have it.
I'm going to be posting pictures galore on this case
on the Patreon for my celebrity members, so be on
the lookout for that if you're a Patreon member. And

Much love,
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today I'm
gonna bring you something a little different. No rich and
famous salatious stories today. It is a salacious story, but
it doesn't regard the rich and famous. And honestly, I
should call this episode the trend, but I'm gonna call
(00:38):
it a mother's betrayal and you're gonna find out why. Now,
this story is not only trending everywhere you look online,
but the subject of this story is so despicable that
she deserves as much exposure as she can possibly get. And,
as y'all know, that is my specialty. So let's die
(01:00):
to this case, which is out of Illinois, where a
forty three year old mother had a baby with a
fourteen year old boy. Now, if that weren't enough to
knock you out of your seat right now, it's also
discovered when this came out that this fourteen year old
boy was actually her daughter's junior high dance date. Now,
(01:24):
I don't know if they were a boyfriend and girlfriend
or if they just went to a dance together, but
they definitely knew each other. And as a matter of fact,
she's chaperoned that junior high dance, meaning Robin Polston. We'll
get into the details of how all this happened. So
this fourteen year old boy, he graduates from the eighth grade.
(01:47):
This is in twenty twenty three, and he discovers that
he's moving. His stepmother and his father were moving to Nevada.
Of course he was going with them, but he has
family in Illinois. As a matter of fact, his grandparents
were there, and he would go back and forth several
(02:08):
times to Illinois after moving to visit his grandparents, and
he would also visit his friends while he was in Illinois.
Now one of these friends were none other than Robin's
teenage son. So he would ask his grandparents and his
parents while he was visiting if he could spend the
night with his friend, et cetera. And there's nothing out
(02:31):
of the ordinary. There seems quite normal. You move away
your fourteen year old kid, you miss your buddies, and
you want to see him when you go back in town.
So that's not going to raise any red flags. And
of course everybody was agreeable to that, and he would
do that when he would come back and forth, and
the grandparents. They would even confirm that it was okay
(02:53):
with Robin Poulston that their son spend the night with
her teenage son. And she would say, yeah, it's all good.
They're friends. I get it that he's, you know, moved
to Nevada, probably hasn't made a whole lot of friends there,
so sure he can come stay with me and my
you know, hang out with my son. So we're in
twenty twenty four by this point now with the grandparents
(03:16):
and the parents, didn't they is that he was not
going there to see his friend. That was a front.
He was really going there to see his friend's forty
three year old mother, Robin Poulston. So this type of
arrangement would occur just about every time this kid would
visit his grandparents, and apparently his behavior it would completely
(03:42):
change when he would head back to Nevada. He would
just get this kind of jerk attitude. He would be
a smart ass, and his dad and his step mom,
they would initially chalk this up to the fact that
he was kind of having difficulty adjusting to this move
to Nevada. You know, you got to go to a
new school, you got to get new friends, all that
(04:04):
sort of thing. He just missed his friends in Illinois,
and this was his way of dealing with these emotions.
He would just kind of be an asshole for a
few days whatever, But it got so bad that he
would start threatening to run away. When he was in Nevada,
he wanted back in Illinois, and he was eventually able
(04:27):
to convince his dad to allow him to move in
with his grandparents back in Illinois, and his dad, fearful
of his son's mental health at this point and not
sure really what to do, he agrees to it. So
this fourteen year old boy he moves back to Illinois,
and despite that, he was still having some behavior issues
(04:51):
with his grandparents. Well enter Rhyman Polston. She talks to
his grandparents and I don't know any of this to
be one hundred percent fact, but I'm just kind of
speculating here. Maybe they confide it in her because her
son was spending so much time with their son or whatever,
and said, look, you know, I don't know what this
(05:12):
fourteen year old boy's problem is, but he's really being
a smartass and he's really been a lot to handle.
Who knows, But what we did know is that Robin Poulston.
She speaks with them and she says, hey, I think
I can straighten out this kid. He just kind of
needs a mother figure in his life all the things.
(05:34):
And Robin suggests they let their grandsons stay with her
in her family for a while to see if it
would help his behavior issues in the grandparents. They agree
to this. Now, the first really crazy little tidbit to
this story is that his grandparents they never told his
(05:55):
dad in his stepmom about this agreement. I don't know,
maybe they fought that his dad and stepmom would be
against it, but regardless, they kept it from the dad.
So fast forward to the fall of twenty twenty four.
This point, this fourteen year old is living with Robin
(06:15):
Poulston and her daughter and her son, and Robin Polston
was a hairdresser, stylist, whatever, cosmatologist. She starts telling her
clients that she's pregnant, and as you can imagine, they're
excited about that because she was excited about that. And
as you can imagine, when you're excited about that and
(06:37):
you tell your friends and you tell your clients, typically
they are excited for you as well. In this situation
is no different. They're just so happy for their friend.
I mean, she's forty three years old and she's pregnant.
That ind and of itself isn't exactly a common thing. Now, Polston,
(06:57):
she was married, that's important to mention, But she had
been estranged from her husband for some twelve years at
this point, and I don't even know if most of
her friends and clients knew that she was still married.
So naturally, people in most cases, they're going to ask, well,
who's the father, And Robin would tell them that the
(07:22):
father was a guy she was dating in the military,
and that he was gone a lot, but they're in love,
all those sort of things, and that was her excuse
as to why her friends had not met this guy
in her clients. Now, another thing that her friends and
clients would notice is that this fourteen year old boy,
(07:43):
he was always around her, hanging with her all the time.
And when they would ask Robin, who is this kid
that you're hanging out with, she would tell them that
it was her military boyfriend's younger brother. Now, some other
folks like her photographer, for example, Ample and we'll get
into that later, but she would actually tell them that
(08:04):
this fourteen year old kid was her boyfriend. But she
would also tell them that this kid was actually twenty
five years old and he just looked younger. So in
January of twenty twenty five, Robin Poulston she gives birth
to a healthy baby boy. She is like any other
(08:26):
mother out there when she gives birth, right, she takes
hundreds of pictures, She's updating her social media. She's just
happy and excited. And guess who's right there with her
at the hospital along with the rest of her family,
meaning her son and daughter. Well, you guessed it, that
(08:48):
fourteen year old boy, Jim.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Did you see what happened in Texas today?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you
what happened in New York.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told
you about yesterday in Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You know what, we should do a podcast about it,
and with that we did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Crime War Weekly covers the crime news headlines that have
dominated the week.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
We cover trending crimes from all over the country and
even sprinkle in a few globally.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Crime War Weekly is available now wherever you listen to
your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Simply by searching Crime War Weekly or clicking the link
in the description of this podcast. As I said, there
were tons of pictures after this birth that when you
look at these pictures, you would definitely be taking these
(09:45):
type of pictures with the father of the baby, not
pictures you would take with your son's friend who was
just staying at your home. I'm talking just the three
of them, Robbin, the baby, and the fourteen year old.
Just a ton of pictures like that were uploaded by
Robin to her Facebook. So, just like I look at
(10:09):
those things as red flags, so did a lot of
other people. And they start doing their own examining on
who this boy was, their own detective work, if you will.
And somebody somewhere they got a stute and they got
a hold to a yearbook from the junior high school
(10:32):
and they're flipping through it and lo and behold, there's
a picture of this fourteen year old eighth grade boy
that Robin was claiming to some people was her twenty
five year old boyfriend that just looked fourteen, and was
claiming to other people that it was her boyfriend's younger brother.
So they reported whoever this was, I don't have that knowledge,
(10:57):
but they report it to police. So at this point
police start investigating, and of course they go to Robin
Polston and she denies that anything is going on with
this fourteen year old, much less that he is the
father of this baby. They get Robin Poulston's DNA and
(11:18):
they have a warrant for this. From what I understand,
the baby's DNA and the fourteen year olds DNA. Now,
the issue with DNA is it can take anywhere from
six to twelve months to get those results back. And
you have a procedure in Illinois, and really all states
(11:38):
have this sort of procedure, and that is that for
it to be admissible in court, it has to go
through a crime lab. You can't just send it to
you know, whatever it is, one two, three and meters
or whatever it's called. You can't send it to places
like that. It's got to go through an actual state
crime lab. And the just simply backed up. Now, remember
(12:02):
this is Illinois. What's in Illinois? Chicago, one of the
most crime ridden cities in the country and the murder
capital of the nation. It seems like so I get
it that they were backed up. I think it sucks,
but I get it. So at the time, which now
(12:24):
we're in April of twenty twenty five police, they have
no proof of any of this. This kid's not talking.
Robin Polston's certainly not talking. So the DNA is the
proof that they need, and they really have to just
wait for those results before they can make any sort
of arrest. They just have no proof of him being
(12:47):
the father of this baby. And as I said, the boy,
he's not admitting to it, and Robin for sure is
not admitting to it. But certainly the pressure was on
for Robin Poulston. And she tells this fourteen year old
that he couldn't live there anymore because of this investigation,
(13:08):
and she actually throws him out. He moves out, and
he moves back in with his dad and his stepmom,
and from what I understand, he actually starts attending school again.
And we'll get into the fact that he wasn't attending
school in just a minute. But shortly after she was
initially reported, some really disturbing photos of Robin surface with
(13:35):
this fourteen year old. And I'll post the photos that
I've come across on the Patreon, but y'all just will
not believe these pictures. To describe a few, there's one
picture where she appears nine months pregnant. Okay, she's in
a white almost looks like a wedding dress, and this
(13:59):
kid is behind her. His arms are wrapped around her,
this fourteen year old kid. His arms are wrapped around her,
and he's holding the sides of her belly, and she
has her head kind of tilted into his chest as
as she's gonna, you know, kiss him. And he's facing
(14:20):
the camera, and there's another where he's facing her. Okay,
his back is turned away from the camera and her
hands are on his shoulders and in her hands. Or
the sonogram pictures would really be a cute picture if
you have a baby with somebody, if the boy wasn't
(14:42):
fourteen years old, if it was like, you know, twenty
eight and twenty eight, right, just really sick shit, knowing
what we know now. And yeah, she was posting all
these pics with this kid on her social media. She
wasn't trying to hide it. Now, keep in mind, this
(15:03):
is her daughter's at least x date. Somebody she knew.
What was her daughter thinking. I mean, there's no way
she didn't know that something had to be going on
with this boy. In my opinion, I just feel horrible
for her daughter. I can't imagine. Now. It has also
(15:25):
come out, as I said earlier, that her father had
no idea that this kid was even living at Robin's house.
A lot of people are like, how did his dad
not know? Did he even talk to the sun And
the shorter answer is not much. It appears he didn't
speak to his son like every day. That's very bizarre
(15:45):
to me. I have three kids, I talk to them
all the time. Just very strange to me, but hey,
it is what it is. And when they did talk,
his son would just say he's hanging out with his
friend at Robin Paulsen's house, and his dad would talk
to the grandparents and they would actually play it off
as if his kid was still living with them. I
(16:09):
have no idea why, but it is what it is.
That was a situation. And it also came out that
the night that Robin Pulstin kicked this kid out of
the house, after all those initial allegations came out, it
was three o'clock in the morning and he walked to
some business in the middle of the night. It's freezing
(16:33):
cold outside. All he has is the clothes on his back.
According to reports, he didn't even have a jacket on
and he called his dad to pick him up, and
he also let his dad know that, in addition to
the DNA, that the police had also confiscated his cell phone. Now,
(16:53):
somewhere in there, there's a report that the boy had
three cell phones on him when his dad picked him up,
that his dad noticed that, and supposedly they were burn
her phones. I'm not going to really report too much
on that because it's so hazy, but it is, you know,
there for information. So after all of this, a Facebook
(17:16):
post is made by Robin's sister in law. Remember I
told you she was still married, but she was a
strange for twelve years from her husband. So her sister
in law makes a Facebook post and I'm going to
read that Facebook post to you. It's very interesting and
(17:39):
here's what she said. I'm having a hard time finding
the right words, but stay with me. Robin Polston was
my sister in law. She had me believing she was
dating a man in the military and was having a
baby with him. There were red flags that just kept
adding up. She manipulated me from the beginning into supporting
(18:03):
this pregnancy. The ugly truth is she was dating her
sixteen year old daughter's ex boyfriend. He was fourteen at
the time she got pregnant. She hid him in her
house for over a year and none of his family
knew where he was the whole time until they got
a call from the police department stating that they needed
(18:26):
his DNA and then she puts in parentheses. Cannot imagine
a parent's worst nightmare. She continues to have custody of
all three of her children, multiple calls to the police
department for welfare checks as well as DCFS. For some reason,
even though she's being investigated for having a child with
a fourteen year old boy, she is still able to
(18:49):
keep her kids. I'm terrified for these kids and all
their friends who go through that house now. And that's
something she actually brings up a good point. You know,
her kids are around the same age, so they have
friends that are around the same age. How bizarre is that?
Feel so horrible for those kids, But I'll continue on now.
(19:11):
I have been turned out to be the bad guy
because I'm not turning a blind eye to it. I've
lost a sister, my niece, and nephew, and our relationships
will never be the same again. Most importantly, justice has
not been taken because they are still waiting on DNA
evidence to prove the fourteen year old as the father
of the baby, because she claims she was quote catfished
(19:35):
by this boy and had no idea who he was. Oh, also,
it was a one night stand quote unquote. Anybody looking
at the photos can see he is the same human
her daughter used to date. The systems are failing. The
new loss in Illinois make it impossible for her to
be arrested and held if they don't have all the
(19:57):
evidence up front, which is bullshit because everyone can see
right through her lives and they could see this boy
as a baby, a child, just barely a team boy.
It's been two months since this has been reported. She
mothered him and groomed him, taking him under her wing
as he lost his biological mother and had other sick
(20:19):
plans to manipulate him into a relationship. He wasn't even
enrolled in school that whole year. Her children are being
forced to lie for her and won't speak out against her.
I have been sick over this, and I will continue
to be sick until justice is served. Something has to give,
(20:40):
and that was from her sister in law, and I
couldn't agree with that. More so that post is posted,
and time passes and pressure mounts, not only on Robin,
but on the police. Remember, outrage is hitting Illinois, and
this thing goes national. Large creators start covering the case,
(21:05):
and no one could understand why there had not been
unarrested yet. And then just a week or so ago,
on November three, it happened the state of Illinois gets
a DNA match proving this fourteen year old boy was
the father of forty three year old Robin Poulston's now
(21:28):
eleven month old baby.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the Bayous whisper
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Derek Todd Lee was
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality. He was
a monster. Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,
led a double life would unravel in a series of
(22:01):
murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and the
surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and murders
began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the
(22:21):
depths of Derek Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families
and the survivors. This is DTL.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
A rest warrant is issued, and I'm going to review
that rest warrant with you. Now here's how that reads.
It was actually filed in November fourth of twenty twenty five,
and it says I Cassandra mullikan In, an assistant State
Attorney General for Taswell County, Illinois or Tazewell. I've reviewed
(22:59):
the police police reports regarding the investigation and would like
to state the following. On February sixth of twenty twenty five,
Officer Thomas of the Washington Police Department took a report
regarding Robin Polston giving birth in January of twenty twenty
five to a child. On February thirteenth of twenty twenty five,
(23:19):
Detective Hincn obtained a birth certificate for Polston's child, identifying
him as and it's redacted out. The father's information was blank.
The child shared the same middle and last name as
a perpetrated and it's blank, and we can infer that
to be the fourteen year old boy. On February twentieth
(23:40):
of twenty twenty five, Detective Hinkin made contact with Polston.
Polston claimed that the father of her child was a
man in his twenties name Brian. Polston also claimed that
she had not seen him since the child's birth. Detective
hincn obtained DNA samples from Polston and her child and
it's redacted it out, and later that evening, Detective Henkin
(24:02):
was able to make contact with and obtain and it's
the fourteen year old boys DNA as well. DNA samples
were sent to the Illinois State Police and percentage analysis
was conducted which confirmed blank redacted out that's the fourteen
year old boy and Poulston were the parents of, and
(24:24):
of course it's redacted out the child. During the investigation,
Detective Henkin spoke with redacted out's father, stepmother, and grandparents
the fourteen year old boy, and Detective Henkin learned that
the fourteen year old boy in Poulston's daughter had attended
a school dance together in May of twenty twenty three,
which Poulston had chaperoned. Shortly thereafter, fourteen year old moved
(24:48):
out of the area and then returned around April of
twenty twenty four and Junia of twenty twenty four for
quote brief visits to see a friend. In August of
twenty twenty four, fourteen year old boy permanently moved back
to the area to live with the family of quote friend.
During further investigation, police obtained a search warrant for the
(25:10):
Google accounts associated with the fourteen year old boy. A
cell phone which had been seized and also downloaded provided
within the data from Google where a large number of
sexually explicit images and videos depicting fourteen year old boy
and Pulston together y'all. Included within these photographs were two
(25:32):
photographs in which fourteen year old boy can be seen
performing and it's redacted out on the redacted of Pulston.
And examining the photographs, it can be determined that Pulston
is responsible for taking the photographs and it goes on
to say that the defendant is charged with two counts
(25:54):
of sexual assault, a Class one felony offense for which
a sentence of imprisonment is required by law, and then
it goes on to add two more counts to that.
So there you have it. She is arrested. And here's
the interesting thing. Now, typically you get arrested and then
(26:15):
you see a judge and you get your bond amount
and you post bond until your coordinate. However, in this case,
a no bond order was issued by the judge. Apparently
this judge feels that there is just too much risk
with Pulston possibly attempting to contact this kid and maybe
(26:40):
try to keep him from talking. So as of this recording,
she is still in jail and still this kid is
not talking. And this is really the result, y'all when
a lot of this six shit happens. This poor kid,
he's in love with this woman, this forty three year
old woman thirty years practically thirty years older than him.
(27:04):
She groomed him, she manipulated him, she raped him, which
when it's a fourteen year old and it's a forty
three year old, it's rape. And now an innocent baby
is involved. All because of this just disgusting, sick and
twisted mind of this forty three year old woman. Now
(27:29):
ask yourself this, why did it take so long the DNA?
I get that, But the circumstantial evidence was certainly there
in this case, in tons of it, And people have
been convicted much not you know, much less arrested. People
have been convicted just solely off of circumstantial evidence, and
(27:51):
there was a ton of it here. But flip that
script for a second. What if this was a forty
three year old man in a fourteen year old girl.
Imagine the outrage that would ensue. Then you think this
(28:12):
person would have been arrested a lot sooner. I don't.
Most bet you every dollar I got that arrest would
have been made much sooner. And that's what I'm trying
to get at y'all. When I bring you these types
of cases, I'm trying to do what I can to
(28:32):
remove that double standard. So for now, there you have it.
I'm going to be posting pictures galore on this case
