Zakariy Sheikh, 27, convinced a woman to pose as his "mother", forged documents including a birth certificate, and crafted a complicated story about his education at different schools.
For two months, the woman said he was 17 years old and his name was Zach Hess, and everyone believed it. Even though he looked older, no one suspected him.
In that time, Sheikh met almost a hundred schoolgirls, requested numerous erotic photos and managed to abuse two of them without their consent.
When the teenagers realized the deception, they reported the case to the police and school authorities. Thus it was discovered that Zakariy was a maniac.
The court sentenced him to between 85 and 120 years in prison. Zakariy Sheikh's story has left a deep mark on the Lincoln community.
The parents of the affected teenage girls are frustrated by the deception that allowed an adult man to infiltrate schools with the intention of manipulating and taking advantage of their daughters.
