31-year-old woman arrested after posing as high school student for 6 months

What 31-year-old woman doesn’t want to be young again? Sure, it would be great to turn back the hands of time and relive those good ol’ high school days.

A 31-year-old Texas woman made that dream a reality when she pretended to be a 15-year-old high school student — for a full six months, according to Reuters.

Using the alias “Charite Stevens”, Charity Johnson, 31, enrolled as a sophomore at New Life Christian School in Longview, Texas, with identification that said she was born in 1997. She told school officials that she had no prior transcripts because she had been home-schooled. Johnson supposedly spent over six months in classes with students less than half her age.

According to KLTV, Johnson claimed that she was a teenage orphan from an abusive household and that both her parents were deceased. She had been ‘taken in’ by a woman named Tamica Lincoln who lives in the area, who then enrolled her in classes at New Life Christian School.

“I took her in as a child, did her hair, got her clothes and shoes,” Lincoln said, who enrolled her in classes and met with her teachers.

However, Lincoln started to have doubts about Johnson’s story and informed the police who then arrested the fake fifteen year old.

Johnson is being charged with failure to identify and giving false information.

The school declined to comment further, but sent a letter home with students informing parents of the situation.
