GRANGER, Ind. — An elementary school paraprofessional in northern Indiana has been removed from the classroom following an investigative report by REAL News LLC exposing the employee has been moonlighting as a drag queen. The story first appeared on REAL News Central Indiana’s sister outlet, REAL News Michiana, on Tuesday. By Wednesday, RNCI was able to confirm Penn Harris Madison School Corporation administrators removed the Education Assistant from PHM’s Northpoint Elementary School. It turns out, not only was the the employee performing in hyper-sexualized drag venues, his drag persona is an intentional sexualization of popular children’s toy, Polly Pocket.

Dominic Dallich’s job at the elementary school has him working specifically with children with special needs, many of whom are non-verbal. RNCI discovered he frequently performs in hyper-sexualized drag routines under the persona “Paulie Pocket” and appears to attempt to dress up as the popular children’s toy, with a sexual spin.

PHM School Board Member Matt Chaffee confirmed Dallich’s removal.

“I was informed that an employee who was featured in a recent REAL News Michiana article has been removed from the classroom today (Tuesday) pending an investigation,” Chaffee said. “However, I cannot comment on any ongoing personnel issues or investigations.”

While RNCI has confirmed Dallich performed the sexualized drag act as recently as last week, we discovered this has been an ongoing fetish of his for more than a decade.

In publicly available social media posts on Twitter from as early as 2013, Dallich used a Twitter handle portraying his drag persona in which he would call himself a “slut,” “trashy bitch” and would spew vulgar profanities directed at biological women. In two replies in 2014 to a now deleted Twitter profile, he appeared to respond to rape allegations.

Dallich frequently performs at the Dockside Nightclub in South Bend. According to Dockside’s Facebook Page, Dallich performed as “Paulie Pocket” as recently as August 25th of this year. He also performed on August 19th for the club’s “Seductive Saturday” event.

Sources tell RNCI the principal of Northpoint Elementary School has been aware of Dallich’s moonlighting and has supported it.

Dallich’s personal and professional social media pages appear to be either have been deleted or made private after RNCI began its investigation into him.

RNCI reached out to PHM’s Communications Director and Superintendent with the following email on Tuesday morning:

I’m reaching out to get comment regarding an EA at Northpoint Elementary School. It has come to my attention that a Dominic Dallich moonlights as a hyper-sexual drag performer/stripper by the name of Paulie Pocket.

Does this violate any policies at PHM? Would a female educator be allowed to work as an erotic dancer on the side?

We never received a response.
