Man Allegedly Poses as High School Student and Faces Sexual Assault Claims
A 22-year-old man is under suspicion for impersonating a student at a Minnesota high school and is accused of sexually assaulting classmates, according to authorities.
Kelvin Luebke is alleged to have sexually assaulted several students while pretending to be a senior at White Bear Lake High School, as noted in a search warrant application.
In light of these alarming allegations, White Bear Lake police sought a warrant to examine Luebke’s cellphone, as reported by local news.
School resource officers are looking into accusations that he received explicit photos from female students, as mentioned in the same filings. Authorities have revealed that multiple girls reported receiving messages from Luebke, both via texts and on social media.
Luebke had been arrested last month on a different warrant but was released from jail shortly thereafter.
Parents first became aware of Luebke’s deception when their daughter recognized his photo online, where he was known by the name “KP.” Alarmed, they informed the school.
As of now, formal charges regarding the sexual assault allegations have not been filed against Luebke.
Records indicate that Luebke has prior offenses linked to traffic violations and disorderly conduct.
Principal Russell Reetz communicated with parents about the situation, stating that an individual over 21 had managed to enroll at the school, bypassing existing security protocols.
He reassured parents that the school had adhered to the strict registration guidelines required by state law during Luebke’s enrollment.
Reetz emphasized that Luebke is currently barred from district property, with student safety being the top priority. He expressed gratitude toward the faculty, students, and families who reported any concerns.
Interestingly, Luebke does appear on the football team’s roster, which raises more questions. District Superintendent Dr. Wayne Kazmierczak confirmed that Luebke registered as a homeless, unaccompanied youth and had only attended classes for 19 days.
Kazmierczak noted that Luebke presented a birth certificate from another country, claiming to be 18 and eligible for high school. He insisted that there was no reason to suspect the birth certificate was fraudulent, as it bore an authentic watermark and official seal.
The discovery of an adult man posing as a high school student has understandably upset many parents and students. One mother, April Jorgenson, expressed her fears about her children’s safety and expressed confusion over how Luebke gained access to the school.
Another student expressed frustration, feeling that the district’s oversight had failed them. This has led to calls for accountability from those responsible for the situation.
Minneapolis law permits students to enroll in public schools until age 21 or after turning 17, provided they reside in the district and comply with regulations.
