The article is rather long, but summarizing:

A 29 year old convicted sex offender convinced two "old guys" (61 and 43) that he was a 12 year old kid, and moved in with them where they reportedly had regular sex.

The scheme came apart when one of the old fellows tried to enroll the 29 year old in school (in Phoenix, AZ) as a 12 year old, claiming to be his grandfather.

It is reported that the two old guys were "greatly offended" to learn that they'd been conned by the 29 y.o.

Four arrested, the fourth being a former cellmate(?) of the "kid."

Reports indicate he was enrolled in some other schools, but it's not yet known whether he actually attended any of them.

And alternate possibility: they all knew exactly what was going on, and were attempting to get him into the school to find "new juveniles."

If it's too bizarre to be believed, someone's probably tried it. (opinion)
