Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Christian artist, Kevin Mills, raped 12-year-old child.
A Rochester business owner accused of raping a child under the age of 12 has been charged in Thurston County Superior Court. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Kevin James Mills, the 38-year-old owner of Hive 5 Bees and Pacific Northwest Honey, with first-degree rape of a child and incest on Tuesday.
Deputies arrested Mills on May 22, a day after receiving a report of a sex offense from a family friend and business associate of Mills, according to court records. However, the report came about a year after the associate and a local pastor separately heard about the allegations from Mills and his wife.
The sexual assault was reported by a friend of Mills’ wife, who is also a business partner in the Mills’ businesses, on Tuesday, May 21, according to court documents. According to the friend, Mills’ wife “had a nervous breakdown about a year ago and came to her with some shocking information,” specifically that Mills was “having an affair” with a young girl. At the time, Mills allegedly confirmed the allegations were true and “said his life was in their hands for all the information they know,” according to court documents.
The friend told law enforcement that at the time she learned about the sexual assault, “she knew the issue was serious but was not sure how to report it without any physical evidence,” according to court documents.
Around the same time, on April 18, 2023, Mills and his wife disclosed the sexual assault to a pastor at Rochester Life Assembly of God, who did not report it to law enforcement.
