Sex offender who posed as 12-year-old took children home

A convicted sex offender who posed as a 12-year-old boy to enrol in Arizona schools brought home children that had joined a skateboarding club he started, police said.

None of the children said they had been victimised, authorities said. But in a Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office report, a girl accused 29-year-old Neil Havens Rodreick III of grabbing her buttocks at a charter school in Prescott Valley, 90 miles north of Phoenix.
