A 26-year-old Nebraska man accused of posing as a high school student at two different schools has been arrested on sex crime charges, police say.
Zachary Scheich, of Lincoln, faces three felony charges -- two counts of sexual assault, use of an electronic device, and one count of sex trafficking of a minor -- following what started as a fraud investigation, Lincoln police said.
The purported 17-year-old Hess was actually determined to be 26-year-old Scheich, who had graduated from the Lincoln school district in 2015, police said. Scheich was arrested and booked into the Lancaster County jail on Thursday. He was scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Lancaster County Court. It is unclear if he has an attorney.Jackson said police are working to "identify the scope of his actions." Authorities have not specified how many alleged victims there are amid the active investigation.
"There may be potential victims of this scenario that we aren't aware of at this time," Gausman said during a press briefing. "If there are those out there that have been victimized in some way or another we need to know about it," he said.The schools have social workers and mental health professionals who can provide any support to students who seek it, school officials said.
Scheich "exploited our enrollment process by using convincing, fake documentation to gain enrollment in our schools," Gausman said.
