Diaper-Wearing Man Allegedly Approached Young Girls, Said 'Goo Goo Gaa Gaa' and Asked for a Diaper Change By Christine Pelisek

A Texas man wearing only a diaper allegedly approached an 11-year-old girl and asked her for a diaper change.

Wesley Worl, 45, is facing a charge of criminal solicitation of a minor for the Tuesday, July 29 incident.

According to police, the child was bicycling near Andy Woods Elementary in Tyler just before 6 p.m. when Worl, donning only a diaper and a pacifier around his neck, stepped out of his truck and allegedly said ‘goo goo gaa gaa’ before asking for a diaper change.

“I guess he had seen her riding her bicycle and had pulled in to kind of get ahead of her into the parking lot of the school,” Andy Erbaugh, public information officer with the Tyler Police Department, tells PEOPLE. “And when she approached on her bicycle, he jumped out and his words were ‘goo goo gaa gaa. I need you to change my diaper.’”

The girl quickly took off and went to some witnesses for help.

“They knew her,” says Erbaugh about the witnesses. “They contacted mom and dad who went over there. They called the police immediately.”  

The girl, he says, is “quite shaken up about this obviously.”

After the incident, Worl got back into his truck and drove off, but one of the witnesses took down a partial plate number.  Police also obtained video of his truck.

“We got a description of him, and we put two and two together and looked, found it was Wesley Worl, got warrants on him and arrested him,” says Erbaugh.

Worl was also charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass for a separate incident.

He was booked into the Smith County Jail and is being held on a $600,000 bond.
