3:01Now PlayingAn Illinois mother accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy, her daughter’s former eighth-grade dance date, allegedly planned to “look perfection” and “get freaky” for him during a December 2023 visit, according to texts obtained by true-crime podcaster Abby Escobar. Police say Robyn Polston, 40, later gave birth to a baby named after the teen, with DNA confirming he was the father. Investigators say Polston misled others by claiming her boyfriend was an adult in the Army. She now faces criminal sexual-assault and child-pornography charges, is held without bond, and could face up to 60 years in prison.
