28-year-old woman accused of posing as Louisiana high school student

HAHNVILLE, La. (AP) — A 28-year-old woman who enrolled at a Louisiana high school and posed as a 17-year-old student has been arrested along with her mother. The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office said Martha Jessenia Gutierrez Serrano and her mother, 46-year-old Marta Elizabeth Serrano Alvarado, both of Boutte, were arrested Tuesday on one count each of injuring public records. Detectives determined that Serrano-Alvarado used a fraudulent passport and birth certificate to register and enroll her daughter at Hahnville High School for the 2022-2023 school year. Authorities did not provide details about why the woman did so or whether authorities suspect anything inappropriate occurred during Gutierrez-Serrano’s time at the school.
