I thought schools did a background check on employees.
Such a complicated web some folk weave to deceive... why in the heck would anyone fake being a service member? food was lousy, pay was horrible and we all had to dress the same... :? :shock: BUT what is most shocking is she worked at a school

, we got an anonymous tip that would again send this investigation in a different direction.
They told us that Kelsie and Michael were actually the same, that Kelsie was undergoing Gender Re-assignment Surgery, and that she had tried to get her name legally changed last year to Adrian Michael Luna. They also said she was a con-artist and would also use a wheelchair and pretend to be disabled to get money from people.
Since she lied about filming a student project, and presented a false ID, and was wearing the uniform of a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Army, did she use the fake ID to board the plane at the airport?
A woman who was exposed for posing as a U.S. Army Lieutenant by Guardian of Valor in 2015 was just sentenced to prison by a Nevada judge last week. Kelsie Hoover, a transgender woman who began to undergo gender reassignment surgery a few years ago, was caught posing as a male U.S. soldier at Baltimore Washington Airport named “Michael Cipriani.”
A veteran spotted “Cipriani” at the airport and began filming as he called out the fake Lieutenant. The vet sent the video to Guardian of Valor and they conducted a thorough investigation. At first, Kelsie Hoover admitted to using her brother’s ID to pretend to be a male soldier, however further investigation by Guardian of Valor revealed Cipriani was Hoover’s manufactured identity and not a real person at all.
Hoover’s place of employment asked her to leave after they saw the video. Hoover had worked for Sparks High School using the Michael Cipriani persona, claiming she needed to use a wheelchair because of injuries suffered in combat.
Karla Solferino, the Washoe County School District Police officer, said that Hoover claimed to have a Purple Heart. Hoover was also reportedly able to obtain a Purple Heart license plate under the Cipriani alias.
Hoover was tried as a female and sentenced to nine to 20 years in prison.
