How A 24-Year-Old Illegal Migrant Dad Was Caught Posing As High School Kid In The US — through one phone call
To the residents of Perrysburg, Ohio, his school pals and the guardians who welcomed him in, Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra was a 16-year-old human trafficking victim.
There was one problem.
He was really 24 years old and had a baby with his ex-fiancée a town over in Toledo.
His scheme worked for over a year, with authorities falling for a birth certificate he produced shaving six years off his age.
Then one night, Evelyn Camacho, 22, mother of Labrador-Sierra’s daughter, called the house where he was living.

Anthony Labrador-Sierra as a 24-year-old under arrest. He claimed to an Ohio high school that he was 16.
His new guardians, a couple in their 60s named Kathy and Brad Mefferd, answered.
“I was questioning what the truth was,” said Camacho. “Did he lie to me about being an adult? Or did he lie to them about being a child? I didn’t know what was going on. And I care about him. He’s the father of my daughter,” she told The Post.
The Mefferds called the school, which in turn called the police. They also searched his room and made unsettling discoveries including a burner cellphone, fake ID, a semiautomatic pistol and three loaded 9mm magazines, according to an arrest affidavit.
Labrador-Sierra has since pleaded guilty to lying on immigration forms and on an application to purchase a firearm.
He has been handed over to ICE and faces decades in prison.
