I just recently read up on the story of “Casey Price”, a 29 year old convicted sex offender who managed to pass himself off as a 12 year old, via the help of two older men, Robert Snow, 43 and Lonnie Stiffler, 61. The two men, who he was allegedly having sex with, brought “Casey” to Mingus Springs Charter School in Arizona.

But the men, when told that “Casey Price” was actually Neil Roderick and was 29, not 12, claimed that they were scammed and in no way homosexual. Rodericks cover was blown due to a German birth certificate that listed his weight in pounds not kilograms, guardianship papers had two varieties of how to spell his name and two different dates of birth. As if that wasn’t enough evidence, the nurse, upon a routine physical examination, found that makeup came off onto her hands.

Along with all of that, Roderick also managed to spend three months at the Imagine Charter School in Surprise. School principal Cynthia Juarez says that “Casey” didn’t stand out in any way, that he “blended in.”

Roderick’s attorney, court appointed Steve August, says his client will be pleading not guilty later this month. Roderick claims to be “confused” by the allegations against him and will face a pre-screening psychological exam, which August says is needed, ” given the nature of the charges. “

Writing out this article after reading it several times still had me pondering in confusion. As you see to the right, that is Roderick, without makeup. I can see him passing off as a high school student..but a 12 year old? No way. How did he manage to bypass four charter schools? What I also find bothersome is that Roderick spent six years in an Oklahoma prison after making indecent proposals to two six year old boys, why was he not monitored afterwards?

Hopefully this time around, he gets a permenant jail sentence. Because honestly, what is stopping him from running on repeat? I find there a message behind him only being able to have a court appointed lawyer, and I don’t think it’s lack of money.

Do it right this time, lock the man UP.
