Nebraska man disguised as student faces sex crime charges.

Nebraska Man⁣ Poses as‌ High Schooler,​ Commits Crimes Against Students

Police‌ in Lincoln, Nebraska ⁢recently uncovered⁣ a shocking case involving a man who impersonated a high⁢ school student and allegedly committed crimes​ against other students. The suspect, Zachary ⁤Scheich, had ​been evading arrest on fraud charges until ‌authorities received a tip about his fake identity.

Over the course of 54 days this academic year, Scheich‍ attended Northwest and Southeast high ⁢schools, blending in with the student population. He even attended classes like⁣ a regular student, fooling both faculty and fellow students. However, as the investigation⁣ progressed, it was revealed that Scheich ​had additional contacts⁣ with juvenile students.

On June 1, police discovered that ⁤Scheich ​had committed even more serious crimes against high school-aged children. He now faces charges of sexual assault using an ⁤electronic device and sex trafficking of ​a​ minor. These charges carry severe ⁣penalties, including the ⁣possibility of life imprisonment.

Despite ⁤his deceptive tactics, authorities eventually located⁤ and ‌arrested Scheich. ⁣Standing at ⁣5’4″ and weighing around 120 pounds, he managed to blend ⁤in with ⁢the student body by using false documents⁣ to enroll in ⁤the schools.⁣ It was later revealed that Scheich had actually graduated⁢ from ‌Lincoln Public Schools in 2015.

Scheich’s bail has been set at $25,000, and the chief deputy Lancaster County attorney has requested‍ that he have no contact with victims or ‍children under the age ‌of 18. His next court date is scheduled ‍for August 17.
