According to the arrest affidavit filed in the Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, the case (No. 2023-00362433) emerged following a report by a minor victim, identified as RS.

The investigation revealed that Grubb had engaged in vaginal intercourse with the minor on two separate occasions. He is also accused of soliciting her for sexual acts through text messages in exchange for allowing her to spend time with her friends. The report includes explicit text exchanges and photographs sent to Grubb’s phone, providing substantial evidence for the charges.

RS, during a forensic interview at the Children’s Advocacy Center, detailed the alleged sexual encounters with Grubb, describing them as non-consensual and under duress. She also mentioned sending explicit photographs of herself to Grubb, under pressure, to gain his permission to meet her friends.
