30 Year Old Sex Offender Pretends

This week in the news there was a thirty year old man named Neil Havens Rodreick II. He is a sex offender who was pretending to be a twelve year old 7th grader to enroll into school in Arizona. He pleaded guilty for not one but seven criminal charges, and will be sentenced to 70 years in jail. There was no sign of abuse to anyone at the schools that this man went to. However, when the local police searched his house they found an abundance of child porn. He was apart of twenty-eight crimes however he only admitted to about a forth of them. He admitted to four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor mainly stemming from the pornography found in his house.

He named him self Casey and plastered on make up to look like a 7th grade boy. There is also cases of him grabbing girls in inappropriate places in a charter school that he also was at. There has not been a settled sentence for this man, however its not looking good on his behalf.

I think that this man clearly is not in the right state of mind. In simpler words he is crazy. I, and I'm sure a lot of people would agree that he does not look like a 12 year old boy. He is 30 years old, there are a ton of different features that he would have that a boy of that age would not. For example, his voice would have already changed while a young boy would still not have hit puberty. The school board should have looked into it more because he did have a sex offender record long before this criminal act. Any relatively smart person should have been able to realize that there was something wrong with this man. I also can not fathom the fact that there are people out in this world that would actually do this. I think that this man should be held accountable for all that he has done and that he should be sentenced to the full 70 years in jail.

Interesting article. Clearly, you have an interest in the safety of adolescents and young adults--obviously, this is a good reason for you to be studying social work. Next week, let's see if you can write about something happening internationally.
