An investigation is underway after a 24-year-old Venezuelan man allegedly posed as an unaccompanied minor to attend an Ohio high school for over a year. School officials described the situation as "highly unusual and deceptive." The man, whose identity has not been released, reportedly enrolled in the high school claiming to be a teenage student.
For more than a year, he attended classes and participated in school activities without raising suspicion.

The school district is cooperating with authorities to determine the man's motives and how he was able to maintain the deception for so long.
The case has raised concerns about school security and verification procedures. Officials are reviewing enrollment processes to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released as they become available.
