A 33-year old mother impersonated

her 15-year-old daughter

so she could become a cheerleader

at an American high school.

Wendy Brown, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, looked old for the Jaguars cheerleaders' squad but was timid and 'had a high-school demeanour', according to an employee of Ashwaubenon High School.

According to a criminal complaint filed against her, Ms Brown wanted to get a high school degree and become a cheerleader because she hadn't had a happy childhood and she wanted to regain a part of her life that she had missed.

She now faces an identity theft charge which could lead to six years in prison and a $10,000 (£5,580) fine.
