Officer’s Narrative:
[Please note: The following is a direct transcription from the official initial incident report. The Georgia Gazette does not fix any spelling or grammatical errors that may exist. Any changes or redactions made by our staff are placed inside brackets. Some errors may exist. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The topics discussed may be sensitive to some readers. Discretion is advised.]

On January 23rd, 2026 at approximately 1306 hrs I, Ofc.Strom, was dispatched to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Watson Blvd in reference to a rape. When I arrived on scene I made contact with a nurse on scene.

The nurse on scene advised me that her patient, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], had come into the hospital on January 21st at approximately 0500 hrs in emergent labor. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] gave birth to a baby boy at approximately 0640 hrs that same morning. After the birth a psych consult was conducted due to the possibility of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] having mental delays. After the consult it was determined by professionals at the hospital that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] had the mentality of a 5 or 6 year old. Due to this diagnosis the staff at the Women’s Center contacted the police.

Due to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] mental delays I decided to go ahead and notify Sgt.Delgiorno as well as female detectives Smith and Thompson before I tried to speak with her. Once they all arrived on scene I sat in while Detectives Smith and Thompson asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] a few questions about how she came to be pregnant. Throughout the discussion it was found that a light skinned black male with the nickname of “Redd” was the father of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] baby. She was able to open her phone and show us several pictures of him cuddled up close to her. It was further discovered that her step father, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] who she had previously been staying with at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was best friends with “Redd”.

Eventually we learned that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was actually [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. When detective Smith asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if she knew what sex was, she advised that she knew but was unable to explain it. We then attempted to get her to describe where she lived at or where she had sex with “Redd” at and she was never able to give substantial directions or addresses. She would simply describe “Redd’s” house as an apartment with a dog in it and a white car out front.

Finally, several times throughout the discussion [REDACTED BY AGENCY] would bring up how excited she was to take the baby home with her once she gotten out of the hospital. Nurses and social workers on scene had informed us that they had advised her numerous times that the baby was going to be placed in foster care and would not be leaving with her.

A contact by the name of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was listed on [REDACTED BY AGENCY] chart. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and staff on scene identified her as a relative. Detective Thompson was able to make phone contact with her. I was never able to obtain a possible date of birth for her while I was on scene and none of the individuals listed in locals had the same address she had listed on the chart; which is why her name was not added to this report.

Social workers on site at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] were notified and made contact with us. They advised Adult Protective Services (APS) were also notified by them; however it was unclear when they would respond to the hospital. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] will be staying on scene at the hospital until APS makes contact.
