Overview
- Robyn Polston, 43, was arrested Nov. 3 in Tazewell County and charged with two counts of criminal sexual assault and two counts of possessing child pornography.
- She is being held without bail, has not entered a plea, and is scheduled for formal arraignment on Dec. 4, according to court records.
- Investigators say DNA testing confirmed that a 14-year-old who attended a 2023 school dance with Polston’s daughter fathered the child born in January 2025.
- A probable cause affidavit describes seized phone and Google accounts containing sexually explicit images and videos, alleged use of burner phones and aliases, and imagery prosecutors say Polston shot.
- Records outline the teen moving away after the dance, returning for visits in April and June 2024, then moving back in August; prosecutors also allege she urged him to conceal the relationship.
