A sex offender known as "diaper boy" has been arrested in White City after he again showed a diaper he was wearing to children, police said.
Despite a long history of showing the diaper to children, recent attempts to charge him criminally have been frustrated because he does not expose his genitals.
The 31-year-old man was arrested Thursday after he showed his diaper and passed out pictures of adults and children wearing diapers from a Web site, said Salt Lake County sheriff's spokesman Don Hutson. Though the site is not pornographic, some of the shots are provocative, Hutson said.
The man has been arrested and booked about five times in locations around the Salt Lake City area, Hutson said. Court records show he was charged in 2008 with 11 counts of misdemeanor lewdness involving a child in Holladay, but those charges were later dismissed. He did register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to similar charges in 1999 and 2000, however.
He is now being held at the Salt Lake County jail, and possible new charges will be screened by the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office, Hutson said.
