Loneliness Motivated 29-Year-Old Who Posed as Teen Student, Says Lawyer
TL;DR
A 29-year-old South Korean citizen who enrolled in a New Jersey high school using false documents did so because she was lonely and longed to return to her school days, according to her lawyer. She pleaded not guilty to providing a false government document and has applied to enter a pretrial intervention program. The woman got the phone numbers of students who helped her find her way through the school and continued to text some of them days after her ruse was discovered.
