Ukrainian who posed as teen in Pa. faces sex assault charge

According to police, Samarin is a Ukrainian immigrant and he graduated from high school and attended two years of college there.

The complaint contends McClure-Potts also helped Samarin get a driver’s license.

A Pennsylvania high school honors student set to graduate this summer was arrested and charged on Tuesday after authorities discovered he was actually a 23-year-old Ukranian national using a false identity.

Samarin allegedly had used fake documents to become “Potts” and even had a social security card with his new identity. He was a star scholar, member of the National Honor Society and even runner-up for last Autumn’s homecoming king. Police investigated Samarin after receiving a tip two months ago.

Artur Samarin was arrested and charged this week by the Harrisburg police.

Kirsten Keys, a spokeswoman for the school district, told Penn Live: ‘We are treating this as a serious matter. “The district will continue to cooperate fully with the police department as they move forward with their investigation”.

I would think there would have to be someone who knew.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed that it’s monitoring the case.

Artur remained in custody yesterday charged with identity theft and tampering with public records.
