Sex offender who posed as boy gets 70.5 yrs

Neil Havens Rodreick II (31) posed as a 12-year-old boy in several American schools. He shaved and wore makeup to help him appear younger

Neil Havens Rodreick II pleaded guilty last year to seven criminal charges. Most involved child pornography, but two stemmed from the charade he pulled off for two years. Rodreick (31) didn't speak at his sentencing, shaking his head 'no' when Judge Thomas Lindberg asked if he had anything to say.

Rodreick attended schools starting in 2005. Authorities said he shaved and wore makeup to help him appear younger, convincing teachers, students and administrators that he was a boy named Casey.

He was caught in January 2007 after spending a day in the seventh grade when school officials became suspicious because his birth certificate and other documents looked forged. They had initially thought they might be dealing with a child who had been abducted.

Authorities didn't find any victims of sexual abuse at the schools Rodreick attended, but they found an extensive collection of child pornography at his home.
