Convicted Child Predator Caught Posing as Teenager to Join High School Football Team

A dangerous 22-year-old Minnesota man with a criminal record allegedly posed as a teenager to enroll at White Bear Lake Area High School.

The convicted child predator even joined the school’s football team before being arrested, according to officials.

The suspect, identified as Kelvin Micaiah Luebke of Lino Lakes, used the name “KJ Perry” and claimed to be a 17-year-old student.

He reportedly played as a running back on the school’s football team and interacted with students for about a month before the deception was uncovered.

White Bear Lake Area Schools confirmed in a statement to families that Luebke gained access by submitting fraudulent records.

“We received reports that an individual enrolled at WBLAHS was over the age of 21 and promptly started an investigation,” Principal Russ Reetz said in the letter.

“Upon our initial investigation, we have determined that while enrolling this individual, we followed our enrollment process, which is as rigorous as state law allows.

“The individual appears to have provided fraudulent documentation and a false identity to enroll.”

Reetz credited staff and families for exposing the deception.

“The safety and well-being of all students is our top priority.

“I am grateful to the staff members, families, and students who saw something and decided to report it.

“These reports led to our investigation,” he added.

The district requires a birth certificate or other proof of age, proof of address, and immunization records for enrollment.

Officials are still investigating how Luebke was able to bypass those requirements.

Public records show Luebke has a troubling history of indecent exposure and harassment involving minors.

In July 2023, a Washington County Sheriff’s report detailed allegations of indecent exposure and inappropriate online contact with a juvenile.

Fox affiliate KMSP-TV reported that Luebke had previously been convicted of sending explicit images to a 15-year-old.

He was reportedly adopted from Liberia at age five and has two birth certificates.

Luebke was arrested on September 28 by Plymouth Police after a traffic stop revealed multiple outstanding warrants.

Jail records show he was wanted in Washington County on a gross misdemeanor charge and in Anoka County on a separate misdemeanor charge.

He was booked into Hennepin County Jail before being transferred to other jurisdictions.

Washington County ordered him held without bail, while Anoka County set bail at $250.

The revelations have triggered anger from parents and political leaders.

State Rep. Elliott Engen (R-36A), a graduate of White Bear Lake High School, blasted district leadership.

“During Superintendent [Wayne] Kazmierczak’s tenure, White Bear Lake has consistently and repeatedly been in the news — but for all the wrong reasons,” Engen said.

“This latest disgusting incident being chief among them.

“Barring the Superintendent’s resignation, parents, students, and teachers will continue to lose trust and look elsewhere.

“The radio silence from Superintendent Kazmierczak, and all but one member of the School Board, speaks volumes.”

Engen added that his youngest brother, a junior in the district, has faced “disturbing” experiences and warned that many families have lost confidence.

“Every story consistently points to one main issue: the adults entrusted to lead our schools are incapable of leading effectively,” he said.

The district says it is continuing an internal review and is working with White Bear Lake Police as the case moves forward.

“Parents want answers, and they deserve action,” Engen said.

“This cannot be allowed to happen again.”
