An Iowa school superintendent who was put on “paid leave” after being found to be an illegal alien is reportedly also a liar and a sexual deviant.
As previously reported, Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) Superintendent Ian Andre Roberts was placed on “paid leave” last week after his detainment and arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for being an illegal immigrant.
During his arrest, he was found to be in possession of a loaded handgun despite a previous weapons possession charge from 2020.
ICE arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, Ian Andre Roberts — an illegal alien from Guyana & active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. When ICE caught him, agents found a loaded gun, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash.

ICE confirmed that Roberts legally entered the United States from Guyana on a student visa in 1999 but overstayed the visa and was handed a final order of removal by an immigration judge years later in 2024.
According to the New York Post, it’s now been learned that Roberts also lied about attending MIT University and was the subject of two sexual discrimination lawsuits.
The Post found that DMPS’ website lists Roberts as having an MBA from MIT’s Sloan School of Management. But when the paper contacted the school, they said they had no record of him.
“He also claimed to have attended Harvard and Georgetown. Those schools did not respond to requests for verification,” the Post notes.
Roberts even reportedly claimed to have a doctorate from Baltimore’s Morgan State University, but that too turned out to be a lie.
During Roberts’ former tenure as the superintendent of Millcreek Township schools near Erie, Pennsylvania, that school district was hit with multiple sexual discrimination lawsuits that led to over $400,000 in settlements being paid out.
The suits alleged that Roberts liked promoting less qualified women over more qualified men.
While he lived in the Millcreek area, rumors also emerged about him being caught having sex with a female colleague on school property.
“There were rumors flying around about his, let’s say, extracurricular activities,” a former colleague told the Post.
Before working in Iowa, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts was superintendent of Millcreek Township School District in Pennsylvania.

Around the time Roberts resigned from the Millcreek post, the school district was negotiating a settlement with a former human resources chief, Melody Ellington, who’d threatened to sue for “constructive discharge” after her own resignation.
“‘Constructive discharge,’ according to the Labor Department, applies to situations when a resignation is involuntary due to a hostile or intolerable work environment,” according to the Post.
In other words, it appears Roberts possibly fostered a hostile/intolerable work environment at school.
An anonymous source alleged to the Post that Ellington was Roberts’ former girlfriend, but this remains unconfirmed. A former colleague, meanwhile, alleged that Roberts “brought Ellington with him” to Millcreek when he got a job with the district.
Pulling back the curtain on Iowa’s school board scandal

As to why Roberts was hired by Millcreek, it was reportedly because members of the local school board were “attracted to” left-wing concepts like DEI and equity — both of which say that black people should be propped up at the expense of other races.
One thing that’s for certain is that few were impressed by him, aside from the delusional board members.
“It seemed like he was more about the persona of being the superintendent and not necessarily fulfilling all the responsibilities to the district and parents and students,” a former Millcreek colleague said. “But those in the community who were pleased with his hire, from a DEI perspective, were reluctant to address it, or didn’t see it.”
The same thing was true over in DMPS.
“He ruined our district for three years,” another former colleague said. “He was very smooth, affable, but the overarching feeling you got from him was smoke and mirrors, mystique.”
