The Lincoln man arrested in 2023 for impersonating an LPS high school student for 54 days pled guilty in court on Thursday.
27-year-old Zachary Scheich pled no contest to charges of child enticement with electronic communication, generation of child pornography – age 19 or over, two counts of first degree sexual assault and attempted first degree sexual assault.
KLIN media partner 10/11 Now reports Scheich now faces 8 to 220 years in prison. As a part of a plea deal, Scheich had nine felony charges reduced to five. He will be sentenced on September 11.
Scheich went by the name “Zak Hess” and posed as a high school student “at Northwest High School during the first semester and transferred to Southeast High School during the second semester, all during the 2022-2023 school year,” said LPD Assistant Chief Brian Jackson last year.
As apart of the police investigation, 23-year-old Angela Navarro was taking into custody, after being identified as the individual who impersonated Zachary Scheich’s mother, to register him for classes.
