It Might Be The Lack Of Sleep…
… or insanity brought on by attempting to quit smoking, but I found the last bit of the following article somewhat amusing.
A 29-year-old pedophile posed as a 12-year-old boy for two years and even attended an Arizona school for four months before being kicked out for poor attendance.
Neil Havens Rodreick, 29, who is 1.7m tall and weighs 54kg, shaved his head and covered his stubble with make-up to fool authorities and friends.
He used the name Casey Price and spent four months last year at the Imagine School in Phoenix before he was thrown out for poor attendance, the British Press Association said.
He allegedly pretended to be a youth for nearly two years, even convincing two men who had been looking for boys on the internet that he was a minor and getting them to pretend to be his relatives.
His neighbours said he built the occasional skateboard ramp and did wheelies on his bike down the streets.
At school he was seen as a shy, average student who handed in his homework but did not stay after classes ended.
Authorities said that after leading Lonnie Stiffler, 61, and Robert Snow, 43, to believe he was a youth, Rodreick talked them into taking him to live with them in Arizona, according to the New York Times.
Mr Stiffler reportedly posed as his grandfather and Mr Snow as his uncle.
Both were said to have regularly had sex with him, and investigators believed another man living in the house.
He was caught earlier this month when he went to a school in Chino Valley, Arizona, for a day and teachers got suspicious.
Rodreick spent seven years in prison after being convicted in 1996 of lewdly propositioning a six-year-old boy in Oklahoma.
He was charged with forgery and fraud over the school incidents.
He was also accused of assault against a girl and investigators said a video of him engaging in sex acts with an unidentified child was found at his house.
The other men had have been indicted on numerous counts, the New York Times said.
Authorities said Mr Stifler and Mr Snow were shocked and angry about being duped by an adult posing as a minor.
Quotes presumably not used in the article -
Mr Stifler - We thought we were decent, upstanding kiddy fiddlers.
Mr Snow - And now we discover our “victim” is in fact a 29 year old grown man?
Mr Stifler - How can we show our faces at the next NAMBLA get together?
Mr Snow - This has ruined our reputation amongst the pederast community.
Mr Stifler - I’m answering calls from my mother all the time, having to reassure her that I’m not a homosexual!
Mr Snow - You spend years - years - trying to infiltrate a community, get involved with the local children’s groups, that sort of thing. And the next thing you know, everyone thinks you’re gay. My career as a Scout master is over. Yes, I’ll say I’m shocked about being duped. Shocked and angry.
Mr Stifler - We’ve been wronged. We shall seek compensation, mark my words.
