Storme Aerison

Storme Aerison is a con artist who gained notoriety in the 1990s for repeatedly impersonating a female high school student and later representing himself to be a supermodel. Aerison was born Charles Daughterty and grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado (where she committed the majority of her fraudulent activities), and later had her named legally changed to Storme Aerison, the name of one of her female supermodel personas.

Aerison, born a black male, was arrested by the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1990 for enrolling at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs and representing herself to be a 17-year-old white female high school student. In her female persona, Aerison joined the school's all-female cheerleading squad, where she was made head of the squad; however, once arrested and her true identity exposed, Aerison was kicked out of the school and the cheerleading squad.

Police charge that in 1994 Aerison once again adopted a fraudulent persona, that of her current name, and posed as a supermodel in order to elicit credit card numbers and other financial income.
