In a bizarre story, I find this excerpt to be completely nuts....

Stiffler and Robert James Snow, 43, "were very upset when the detectives told them they had been having a sexual relationship with a 29-year-old man and not a pre-teen boy," Quayle said.


Sex offender applies to school — as 12-year-old
Man, 29, said to have been living with men who thought he was a pre-teen

PHOENIX — A charter school alerted authorities to a 29-year-old sex offender who tried to enroll there, pretending he was just 12, in what sheriff's officials said Friday may have been an attempt to lure children into sexual abuse.
The Yavapai County sheriff's office also said Neil Havens Rodreick II conned two men he was living with and having sex with into believing he was a young boy. One of them, 61-year-old Lonnie Stiffler, called himself Rodreick's grandfather when he tried to enroll him at Mingus Springs Charter School as "Casey Price."
"This is the weirdest case I've seen in 18 years," sheriff's spokeswoman Susan Quayle said. "If it wasn't so sad it would be funny."
A total of four men were in custody in the case Friday on various charges, including fraud, forgery, identity theft, and failure to register as a sex offender.
Officials at the charter school in Chino Valley, about 90 miles northwest of Phoenix, told deputies that papers the "grandfather" presented appeared to be fake and that "boy" looked much older than 12.
'Very upset'
Stiffler and Robert James Snow, 43, "were very upset when the detectives told them they had been having a sexual relationship with a 29-year-old man and not a pre-teen boy," Quayle said.
Detectives have evidence that Stiffler and Snow enrolled Rodreick in other Arizona schools, and have notified law enforcement in those jurisdictions, Quayle said.
It was unclear whether Rodreick had actually attended any schools, but Quayle said, "I think what we're looking at is that he's being used to troll for other kids."
She said detectives learned in interviews with the men that Rodreick convinced Stiffler and Snow that he was a boy after meeting him two years ago over the Internet. Rodreick apparently shaved his body hair and used makeup to keep up the guise.
Additional charges
Deputies who served a search warrant at a Chino Valley home Thursday found Stiffler, Snow, Rodreick and Brian J. Nellis, 34. Quayle said Nellis was apparently Rodreick's cell mate in an Oklahoma prison, where both served time for sex offenses.
Stiffler was booked on counts of forgery and hindering prosecution and was being held on $100,000 bond. Each of the three others was being held on $50,000 bond on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. Prosecutors said decisions on any additional charges would be made by Monday.
All four men made initial court appearances Thursday and were assigned public defenders. County Public Defender Janet Lincoln said her office had not seen any reports or met with the men by Friday afternoon and would have no comment.

  • So I'm a little confused on one point. Was the 61 year old man in on the act or did he actually believe this man was 12?
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    Believed he was twelve and became upset when he found out he was not. Just when you think things can't get anymore fucked up... you find out they can. Sad.
  • Bloody hell! What do you lot feed your kids over there? How big are 12 years olds in america? How can anyone possibly mistake a 29 year old man for a 12 year old boy? The guy must have been stunted or something. Makes no sense to me.

    really messed up shit but again we have to at least blame the fucking internet for some of this weird and fucked up shit popping up every day, as good as the internet is for information it has a lot of evil shit to go along with it . We as parents most really pay close attention as to what our kids are getting into and no way can a 29yr old pass for 12 maybe a female .....
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    My son plays pee wee football and one of the teams he played had a 9 year old kid who was 5'2" 159lbs. I'm 32 years old and I'm 5'6" 165 lbs.

    Back to the story. I don't know what's more fucked up. The fact that this 29 yr old wanted to attend school to attract/lure young kids or the fact that his "Grandfather" was upset that he was having sex with a 29 year old and not a 12 year old.
