Kacy Claassen, 28, is accused of posing as a 16-year-old student named Shamara Rashad in order to enroll at Westchester Square Academy in the Bronx, according to reports. Multiple outlets say Claassen was arrested on April 27. Vice reports that for roughly two weeks she lived as a high school student, using a fake name, a backstory, and a school-issued ID. The accounts also describe how her Facebook activity played a role in raising suspicion. The Daily Mail says a principal reviewed information online after noticing something concerning and uncovered details that led to the matter being brought forward. Vice similarly reports that Claassen had a Facebook profile and that it was not kept private, which contributed to investigators or school staff noticing inconsistencies. The articles do not agree on all specific procedural details, but they align on the core allegations: Claassen allegedly entered the school under a minor’s identity, was caught through online discovery tied to her social media, and was later arrested.
