Convicted human trafficker posed as special-needs child and hired women to treat him like a baby, change his diapers, police say

A Louisiana man on probation for his involvement in a human trafficking case has landed in jail again for hiring women to treat him like a baby and change his diapers, police said.

Rutledge Deas IV, 31, of Metairie was arrested last week on one count of human trafficking and one count of attempted human trafficking, Louisiana State Police announced in a Facebook post.

Deas, who was reportedly out on probation after pleading guilty to human trafficking and sexual battery charges in 2019, apparently posed as a younger man with special needs online while attempting to recruit babysitters to treat him like a child.

He allegedly told potential recruits that he was engaged in “alternative therapy’” and offered to pay them to change his diapers. Police said it was the same type of behavior that he had engaged in two years ago.

  1. Salisbury has plenty of families that do this very thing they become care givers & I use the term loosely or are parents who set up their children as “special Needs children” they walk them out of the homes put them in wheel chairs onto special buses-when they arrive home after the bus puts them off & make sure the bus drives away they run and play with the other children in the neighborhood. I have teachers & friends at the hospital as well as parents in the neighborhood who say there is no physical problems. Unfortunately the most harm the parents do is to the children themselves it’s called munchausen syndrome. I wish medical personnel, teachers & families would report them. It is so sad.
