A Portsmouth, Ohio, mom is behind bars charged with the kidnap and rape of a 12-year-old boy after the SVU team discovered she’d been plying the boy with weed and having sex with him.
A concerned citizen flagged down a Portsmouth Police Officer in New Boston to report a possible sexual assault in Wayne Hills just before 11 pm on Saturday night. Sunday afternoon, a woman contacted PPD to report a woman was having sex with a 12-year-old boy. The woman said she was just following up on the report she’s made the night before.
PPD had already passed that tip along to Scioto County SVU.
That’s when the Scioto County Special Victim’s Unit sprang into action. First, officers located the victim’s parents, who believed their 12-year-old son was spending the night with a friend. However, when the mom called the friend, she learned the boy was not there.
Detectives headed to the Thomas Avenue apartment of suspect Kimberly Mae Polacheck and discovered the sleeping boy in the apartment. Officers transported the child to a hospital.
Investigators learned that Ms. Polacheck, 30, brought the boy to her home while her husband was at work. She allowed the child to smoke marijuana and had sex with him.
According to Ms. Polacheck’s social media, she is the mother of multiple young children of her own. She’s a prolific poster on TikTok, a social media app popular with tweens and teens.
Late Saturday evening she posted about feeling lonely on Facebook. Overnight Saturday to Sunday she posted 11 TikTok videos singing love songs before complaining that her phone service went out.
Law enforcement arrested Ms. Polacheck on two counts of rape and two counts of kidnapping. She is currently housed in the Scioto County Jail on nearly half a million dollars bond.
Sheriff David Thoroughman, the investigation is still ongoing and more charges may be filed. Anyone with information regarding this case should contact Detective Sgt. Jodi Conkel @ 740-351-1091.
