ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — An Oklahoma City man was arrested and charged this week in connection with a sexual assault that happened more than three decades earlier in south St. Louis County.
According to the St. Louis County Police Department, 62-year-old Stacy Pollock was arrested and charged with one count of forcible rape with a weapon in connection to an assault that happened on Sept. 17, 1992, in the 2600 block of Park Hill Circle, located off of Union Road.
Police said Pollock had placed a bandana over the face of the victim before forcing her to lie on the floor and tying her hands and feet together with a rope. Police said he threatened to kill her with a knife and used the weapon to cut off her clothes before forcibly engaging in sexual intercourse.
Pollock was later identified as the suspect after DNA analysis, according to police. He was arrested on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, more than 31 years after the sexual assault happened.
As of Thursday, Pollock was being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a $500,000 cash-only bond.
The St. Louis County Police Department Bureau of Crimes Against Persons detectives were leading the ongoing investigation.
