"The seventh grader had made a different impression in the front office at Mingus Springs that morning. From the moment his grandfather brought him in to enroll the afternoon before, staffers thought something was odd. To them, Casey looked older than his years—he looked, they thought, at least 15. They scrutinized his paperwork. A German birth certificate listed his weight in pounds, not kilograms; California guardianship papers showed two different spellings for his first name, two different birth dates and listed the attorney general of Oklahoma as his family's custody lawyer. When the school nurse steadied Casey's chin during a vision exam, she noticed makeup on her fingers. "We thought we must have a child that's been abducted," says principal Dawn Gonzales.
"Casey" was actually Neil Rodreick, a 29-year-old convicted Oklahoma sex offender who'd shaved his body hair and wore makeup to hide his facial hair. His "uncle" and "grandfather" were two California men he'd met on the Internet and was now allegedly having sex with: Robert Snow, 43, a convicted sex offender, and Lonnie Stiffler, 61, who had no previous convictions. Rodreick had fooled the pair into believing he really was 12, according to court records.
Rodreick's court-appointed attorney, Steve August, says his client will plead not guilty to the charges later this month."
