There was a Ray Bradbury story about a guy who couldn’t grow, basically would always look 12 – he travelled from town to town, pretending to be a kid, playing games, going to school, moving on when people finally started to wonder why he didn’t grow up like his friends.
I don’t remember anything about butt sex, though.
Or, a grown ass-man.
Another similar story was called IIRC “Jeffty” about a boy who not only stayed perpetually a boy but who affected the world around him so that movie serials and 40s radio programs played just for him (and those around him).
No buttsex in that one either.
They don’t mention this in the online article, but when I heard about it on CNN, they mentioned he used makeup to cover up his face. I guess if that stuff can make RuPaul look like a woman it can make him look like a kid.
I’m betting they were really creeped out when they found out they had actually had sex with another adult.
If he’s that good with makeup, he could put Estee Lauder out of business.
I had hairy legs when I was 12. And there are plenty of big kids in middle school, people develop differently, so I find it feasible…unless he just shaved his entire body, that works too.
I could be wrong but I thought this story was more about what his older patrons wanted to believe: that this dude could weasel into a middle school and score some young children for all of them. My understanding is Rodreick, employing Photoshop and “manscaping,” faked out two old coots online until they met. Then they all shacked up in a buggery way until the codgers could hatch this scintillating, foolproof plan.
And there’s a novel that starts off with a guy with the age of an adult but who was hormonally-arrested (though it was completely reversible) to prepubescent. Of course, I can’t remember the title or the author.
Yeah, you’d at least his gym teacher have noticed somethings up? :eek:
“Hail and Farewell”.
“Jeffty is Five” by Harlan Ellison.
I haven’t thought about either of these stories in years.
Well, I can at least assure you all that Surprise and Chino Valley are real places. Surprise is on the west side of the Phoenix area, and Chino Valley is near Prescott, a little over an hour’s drive north of Phoenix.
Also, even though I’ve only seen the same mug shot that you all have, I can believe easily that a quiet guy, especially if he’s a bit short, could pass as a seventh-grader. The puberty bat hits at varying times…there was a kid with a moustache in my kid’s sixth-grade class. And when I signed him up for seventh grade, I said to my husband, “Some of these kids look like grown men!!” I can tell you that there are certainly 6-foot-tall seventh graders with stubble and low voices. My kid is not exactly tall, and he’s getting tired of looking all his friends in the throat. Some kids, especially the ones who think that sunscreen is for sissies, may even show some sun damaged skin if they’ve gotten enough facial sunburns.
Actually, I suspect the giveaway wouldn’t be his looks, but his speech patterns…which would explain why he had to keep pretty quiet.

From the video:
“he was a good student, he always turned in his homework on time…”
So he had that going for him at least.
:rolleyes:
And people laughed at that Wayans brothers movie.
Well, not laughed per se.
Maybe he’s only as tall as Michael J. Fox and is naturally hairless like Robert LePage.
I think he looks my age though (34).
The guy is certifiable… because who but a crazy person would want to repeat junior high? 
The orange jump suit and all that - easy to say “yeah, he’s old!” from the pictures AND knowing what we know.
I have an 11 year old female student, for voice, who looks more developped, physically, than her 17 year old sister. She’s as tall (5’7") as her sister, an adult size 12, and while her sister still looks like a young teenager, the 11 year old is a D cup and looks like a high school senior. This is not all that uncommon, either.
I’ve had 7th graders in my boychoirs - some who were trebles (sopranos), and some who were baritones. Truly, you just never know nowadays. The guy DOES look youthful. A little creative application of makeup, and you can do anything. Doesn’t take much, either, if people have no reason to be suspicious to begin with.
