Warrant Reveals New Claims in White Bear Lake Fake Student Investigation

Investigators are pursuing phone evidence outlined in an unsealed warrant following student and parent reports.

Overview

  • A newly unsealed search-warrant affidavit says multiple juvenile girls reported social media contact with the 22-year-old and several parents reported possible sexual incidents.
  • Police obtained judicial approval to search the suspect’s cellphone for potential evidence of criminal sexual conduct, soliciting a minor, and child pornography.
  • A school resource officer is investigating an allegation that the man received nude photos from a girl under 18, and no charges have been filed tied to his time at the school.
  • District officials say the man enrolled for 19 school days using a false identity, claimed homeless-youth status under McKinney-Vento, and presented a foreign birth certificate showing age 18; he practiced with the football team but did not play.
  • The suspect, previously convicted in a separate case involving a minor, was briefly jailed on a probation violation and released as police continue a complex investigation and the district reviews enrollment safeguards.
