Rodreick spent six years in an Oklahoma prison for lewdly propositioning a 6-year-old boy in 1996. He won't be eligible for parole this time until he serves the full 70 years, tantamount to a life sentence.
Does this man look like a 12-year-old to you? Believe it or not, he actually passed himself off as one and even enrolled in an Arizona public school.
Neil Havens Rodreick II is actually 30 years old and a child predator. He used the unbelievable ruse to get close to more victims. It lasted for two years before he was finally caught.
He's pleaded guilty to seven charges, some stemming from the charade, and will now spend his time in a far different institution - a prison cell, where he'll be for the next 7 decades.
Authorities never found that Rodreick actually molested any of his Yavapai County classmates, but they did discover a huge cache of child pornography in his home.
He confessed to fraud and misdeamour assault charges as a result of the impersonation, stemming from an incident in which he grabbed a girl's buttocks at a charter school. The victim originally shrugged off the attack as the curious misbehaviour of a 12-year-old boy. But when cops told her his real age, she started to cry.
How did he pull off such an outrageous scam for so long? Authorities say Rodreick enrolled in a school in 2005, continually shaving to hide any five o'clock shadow and using pancake make-up to make him appear younger. He fooled teachers, administrators and fellow students into believing he was a boy named "Casey."
The disguise held for two years, before suspicious paperwork in a seventh grade class finally tripped him up in 2007.
And he had help. His 36-year-old cousin posed as his father, and two other men played his uncle and grandfather. All are also under arrest and will face trial in November.
