Shockingly, he had \u2064actually \u200bgraduated in 2015, as revealed\u200d by KLKN. Although registered for summer school, he never attended.<\/p>\n<p>The deception came to light when Lincoln police launched a \u2062fraud investigation in June after receiving a tip from Lincoln Public Schools. \u2064According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/journalstar.com\/news\/local\/crime-courts\/26-year-old-lincoln-man-arrested-after-posing-as-high-school-student-police-say\/article_b40fb76c-273d-11ee-bb87-33e1cfac3371.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lincoln Journal\u200d Star<\/a>, Scheich&#8217;s\u2062 arrest on Thursday resulted in charges of \u2064two counts of sexual assault using an electronic \u200bdevice and \u200bone \u2062count\u200b of sex trafficking of a\u2063 minor.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NE: 26-year-old Zachary Scheich who posed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-arrest-man-on-sex-trafficking-charges-after-authorities-realize-17-year-old-student-is-much-older\/\" title=\"Man arrested for sex trafficking after discovering '17-year-old' student is actually older.\">high \u2063school student arrested<\/a>\u2063 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/far-left-activist-arrested-during-2020-portland-antifa-riots-charged-in-child-sex-sting\/\" title=\"Far-Left Activist Arrested During 2020 Portland Antifa Riots Charged in Child Sex Sting\">child sex crime charges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Enrolled under \u200dthe name Zak Hess at Northwest High School.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/73921GTs6Q\">https:\/\/t.co\/73921GTs6Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dalton (@DaltonReport) \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaltonReport\/status\/1682512468801896448?\">July 21,\u2062 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Further investigation, as reported\u2064 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ketv.com\/article\/lincoln-man-arrested-multiple-sex-crimes-allegedly-sent-minors-explicit-messages\/44612646\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KETV-TV<\/a> in Omaha, revealed that Scheich had engaged in texting \u2063with minors, using his false identity to manipulate and exploit them. He sent &#8220;sexually\u200d explicit&#8221; messages to a 14-year-old girl and \u2063even sent money to \u200ba\u2062 13-year-old girl \u200cin exchange for nude\u200b photos.<\/p>\n<p>While \u2064Scheich admitted to sending the messages, he denied sexually\u200b assaulting any minors. \u200cImportantly, all\u200d of his contact with minors occurred off school grounds, according to the police.<\/p>\n<p>The shocking question arises: \u200dHow was a 26-year-old man \u200cable to\u2064 infiltrate a high school? LPS \u200bDirector of Security \u2062Joe Wright explained\u200c that not all students have proper \u200bdocumentation, and the school district has a &#8220;statutory responsibility&#8221;\u2063 to educate all children under the\u200d age of 20. However, this incident has prompted \u200dthe district to reevaluate their enrollment\u200c procedures.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u200ccrucial \u2064to note \u2062that Scheich has not \u2063been convicted of any\u2064 crime yet, \u2063and there is no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ukraine-made-plans-to-sabotage-nord-stream-pipelines-months-before-attack-report\/\" title=\"Ukraine planned to sabotage Nord Stream pipelines before the attack, says report.\">conclusive evidence linking<\/a> \u200dhim to any harm inflicted on the students at the \u200cschools \u200che attended.

The failure of the Lincoln\u200c school administrators to \u200dproperly vet their\u2062 enrollments put their students in harm&#8217;s way.<\/p>\n<p>Child sex trafficking is a pervasive issue that often goes unnoticed.
