Pedophile[edit]

I am not seeming where this is mentioned in any reports, and thats including articles not used as a source(s). I don't know what sex crimes he was convicted for and if that cannot be found, then we cannot assume he was or is a pedophile. A sex offense can mean any number of things.

He seems to have been convicted for propositioning to a 6-year-old, does that make up the definition of a convicted pedophile? Anyway the word is indeed not used in any reports -might be a language problem from my side.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure. I think, if there is a source that says that, we word it like it says..."propositioning a 6 y/o..." becuase its still assumption to say pediphile until a judge or officer etc says so...I don't disagree, but we have to follow the facts.

I think you are being a little too strict... :) Towsonu2003 06:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

12 years-old??[edit]

Quote
Rodreick spent nearly the whole day at the school. Rodreick also attended another charter school from August 14 to November of 2006, Imagine School at Rosefield. Rodreick attended a total of 50 days at Imagine before he was dismissed from the school for not attending class enough.


How did he pretend to be 12 years-old when he is 29? This article doesn't make it clear. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 22:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good eye :) I forgot to add that he used makeup to disguise himself. DragonFire1024 22:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Looks much better :) —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 22:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

I think a picture might be necessary to understand how a 29-year old might be mistaken for 12.--70.158.160.6 16:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since Wikinews only can use free images that's not likely to happen.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true, we can use fair use images. (Images from other news websites are not fair use). Bawolff ☺☻ 08:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How tall was he? 128.187.0.178 07:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
