A 29-year-old registered s*x offender was caught trying to enroll in high school
as a homeless teenage girl a year after he was sentenced to prison for attempting
the same thing. 

Makayla Craig allegedly claimed to be a 17-year-old girl named Molly from Oregon
on his enrollment application for Maple Grove High School outside of Minneapolis.

His claim raised the suspicions of school staff who notified police, according to
charging documents obtained by KARE. The man was picked up by cops on Thursday, 
October 22, and he told them that he had never attended school before and wanted
to “get the full experience,” according to police.  

He also said he was worried that he’d be mistaken for “Makayla Craig”, a registered
s*x offender from Oregon, who he turned out to be. 

Craig “never completed enrollment with Maple Grove Senior High School, and he was
never present on campus as a student or in any online classes,” the Maple Grove 
Police Department said in a press release.  

He was charged with multiple counts of felony forgery and is currently being held
on a $50,000 bond with a court appearance scheduled for Friday, jail records show.

Craig was sentenced to 40 days in jail in April 2025 for posing as a 15-year-old
homeless girl named Madison while attempting to register for high school in Albany,
Oregon with fake documents, according to KGW, which referred to Craig by female 
pronouns in its reporting.

He was 27 at the time. 

He became a registered s*x offender after he was convicted of third-degree s*xual
abuse in May 2023 with a minor, and was sentenced to three years’ probation and 
was barred from contacting children during that time, the outlet reported. 

He was additionally acquitted of DUI in a 2023 jury trial stemming from an arrest
in 2020, according to KGW.

  TL;DR (AI Generated)

A twenty-nine-year-old registered sex offender was arrested for attempting to enroll
in a Minnesota high school by posing as a homeless teenage girl.

School staff became suspicious of the application and notified the police, leading
to his apprehension before he ever accessed the campus.

This incident occurred just a year after he was sentenced to jail for attempting
the exact same crime using fake documents in Oregon.
