Impostor professor taught at two colleges
An impostor posing as two professors, Peter Pearse and John Hext, taught economics and computing at Millersville and Shippensburg State Colleges. He faced theft by deception and perjury charges, earned 58,000 yearly, and was jailed in Lancaster County awaiting arraignment. Colleges review classes for credit and possible disciplinary actions.
