A convicted sex offender who was trying to register as a high-school student was arrested in Albany, Oregon, last Friday, police said.

Makayla Craig, 27, is accused of computer crimes, second-degree forgery and false swearing for posing as a 15-year-old girl to enroll as a high-school student, the Albany Police Department said in a statement.

Employees at the Families and Communities Together, the health and social service program for the Greater Albany Public School District, reported Craig after they noted that Craig appeared to be an adult, police said.

Police investigated and discovered the alleged deception, arresting Craig.

Craig, also known as Alec Ray Craig, was previously convicted of unauthorized use of a vehicle in 2024, third-degree sexual abuse in 2023, and second-degree theft in 2019.
