The Life And Times Of Diaper Boy

Barton 'Diaper Boy' Bagnes
Salt Lake City, UT–Meet 31-year-old Barton Jason Lewis Bagnes, a.k.a. Diaper Boy. Looks harmless enough, right? Maybe so, but he’s a little strange. You see, Barton likes to wear diapers…not adult diapers, mind you, but baby diapers. And, Barton wants people to see him in his diaper, and by people, I mean young children.
Barton was convicted in 2000 of lewdness involving a child. In that case, he pleaded guilty to one third-degree felony count and one misdemeanor count of lewdness involving a child. That conviction landed him a spot on Utah’s sex offender registry. While not much is being reported on that particular case, it has been reported that the charges came after Barton approached a couple of young children and exposed his diaper.
Barton faced similar charges in OctoberOctober reviews
of 2007. Charges were filed in justice court in Holladay.
Fast forward to 2008…Barton was once again in the news. In February of that year, he was charged with 11-counts of lewdness for exposing himself to young boys. Again, he was arrested, but spent very little time in jail.
Barton made it to our forums in AugustAugust reviews
, 2008. He was exposing his diaper to children at a rec center. At the time, Lt. Paul Jaroscak of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s office stated, ‘We’re frustrated because we’ve arrested him numerous times and it seem like he’s back out on the street.’
The 2008 charge of lewdness involving a child was dismissed after a judge ruled that showing a diaper to children ‘was not on the same level of distress as was a person exposing genitalia to children or performing a sex act in front of them.’ After the case in state court was tossed, the judge in the justice court case from 2007 followed suit.
Would you be surprised to learn that Barton is still at it? On March 3, he walked by a driveway where two 4-year-olds and a 6-year-old were playing. ‘Do you wanna see my diaper?’ he asked. He dropped his pants and showed the kidlets his Elmo diaper. Since the diaper didn’t fit him, because, you know…he’s a grown fuckin’ man, it was fastened with duct tape or some other type of adhesive. One of the kiddos reported the incident to his mother the following day.
The Sherriff’s office won’t be arresting Barton this time. Since similar cases in the past have been dismissed, they are unsure whether or not they will even have a case against him. Salt Lake County Sheriff spokesman Lt. Don Hutson had this to say…‘There has been no behavior on his part to suggest that he has any intention of hurting anybody or engaging in any sort of sexual behavior associated with children.’ He goes on to say, ‘It appears relatively harmless at this point. Even though it certainly is shocking and of concern to law enforcement and the neighborhood in general.’ Hutson advised parents to report any further incidents so authorities can ensure Bagnes is not ‘crossing any lines’ with his behavior.
Barton seems to be a fairly clean-cut looking man. He’s about 5′3″ and weighs in at about 100 lbs. If he weighed 250, looked like Charles Manson, drooled all over the place, and was showing off his Elmo diaper, do you think authorities would make a case? I mean, how could he be charged with a felony in 2000 for exposing his diaper to children and not face the same charges in 2008/2009?
Barton lives with his parents in Holladay. His mother, Mari Bagnes, says that he is dyslexic and was bullied as a child. She says he never recovered from said bullying. But, in the next breath she says, ‘Maybe his happiest times were when he was a child and so he has this fixation with children.’ She also states that Barton wears the diapers due to a ‘physical problem.’ She doesn’t elaborate on what that physical problem is.
Now, if this guy was walking around town showing his diaper to everyone on the street, I might buy into the fact that he’s mental. But, the fact that he only shows it to children is disturbing. I would have to wonder if he’s not going to be showing off a bit more in the future. What do ya think, Demonites?
Oh, and one other thing, this is his mugshot from the incident that landed him on the sex offender registry…

TheMorningStar has this one covered in the forums. Thanks TMS.

I think that more than likely he will be showing more in the future!
If he is a registered sex offender then why is he allowed around kids? I don’t understand why showing little boys his stupid diaper isn’t cause to keep him in jail for awhile?
Sicko freak

I doubt any adults he has shown his diaper to would report it. Most likely laugh and walk away. I suspect it’s obvious to adults that he is not right in the head. (all adults except his mom).
A non-working live-at-home adult who has a “physical problem” that needs diapers says something is wrong. Why doesn’t his mom at least buy him adult diapers?
There is a reason the courts think it is not sexual in nature. So far all the media has seen fit to say is that he exposes his Elmo diaper. I’d like to know more of what has happened in the courts to make them think like they do. Why hasn’t he been at least referred to mental health evaluation? Could it be because he is already being seen?
I’m not saying that i think this is OK, just that I would want more info. If he’s that weird, I would be keeping my kids away from him… diaper or no diaper.

Geeze, what a turd. I’m betting this won’t be the last time we hear about him. Next time he’ll probably be asking the kiddies if they want to Tickle his Elmo. He has some serious issues and needs to be kept away from children.

If hedropped his pant and exposed his underwear he would get indecent exposure they have to be able to get him for something! I can tell you right now if he walked up and showed my boys his diper he would need them for real for the rest of his life!

One thing everyone understands is PAIN. Not sure if this one is mentally slow, in combination with his mysterious “disability” described my Mother, but if someone would say whiz a rock into his face or conk him in the head with say a brick next time he gets Elmo out, I believe that a Pavlovs dog reaction could be achieved with even the slowest of slow.
So yeah, I’m hoping any adults out there just won’t ignore or giggle at his antics – but immediately inflict some kind of sharp excruciating PAIN to Diaper Boy.
Then let him go complain to someone who cares how he got the knot on his head . . .
2:56 pm on March 7th, 2009
poor littler fellar, can’t help feel sorry for him. He seems to have some mental disorder which have damaged the adult underwear wearing portion of his brain. Wait till BUBBA makes him wear sexy panties! Excuse me now while I projectile VOMIT!

Only if he showed his butt or weeKnee – otherwise all the lowrider pants people would be in jail.

that’s what my question is here. i really can’t understand why they seem to be so tolerant about this. i never thought Utah was all that tolerant about anything… apparently diaper fetishes are acceptable in SLC. who knew?
if this guy was going around wearing a lace thong and showing it off to kids, he would not be getting off so easily. what’s the difference? obviously this is a fetish of some kind, as incomprehensible as it is to everyone else. it’s the same thing every time, and it happens over and over again. and it always involves kids. that is a problem.
maybe someday he will move on to something worse like a modified more revealing diaper (and i need brain bleach after that thought) and that wouldn’t surprise me. but this is bad enough as it is. this perv needs to be punished for this. i hardly think that SLC wants to send the message that this crap is ok in public – they’ll soon be the new perv capital of the country.
i was hoping this would make it to the FP, Diaper Douche gets my vote for weirdest perv this week.
i agree with this one – i’d be more than happy to do it myself, but unfortunately this asshat is about 2000 miles away.

I’m gonna weigh in with this: He obviously has a mental problem and mommy says a physical problem, too. Seeing as how he cannot fit in with any adults (HELLO?!), maybe he feels like he’s still a child himself. If he was wearing an adult diaper or just a plain diaper … I’d be more concerned. The fact that he’s wearing a fucking ELMO diaper? That makes him mildly retarded and innocent; I don’t see him as a sex offender, but rather … just someone to keep your eye on. Oh, and I also wouldn’t hire him to babysit. Just sayin’. 0.0
6:46 pm on March 7th, 2009
When he does something to physically hurt a child his loved ones will say, “we are shocked! He showed no signs!” Any bets?
7:38 pm on March 7th, 2009
Dyslexic? What does that have to do with it? My grown son has dyslexia and he doesn’t run around in a diaper flashing kids..
7:46 pm on March 7th, 2009
oh shit…LOL
7:53 pm on March 7th, 2009
Thats what I want to know!
I dont know about that…umm maybe if he just had a diaper in his fanny pack and not a diaper packing his fanny.
8:12 pm on March 7th, 2009
I think because i have a handicapped sister in her 40s with behavior issues, I look at this differently. Things she does at times are totally misunderstood when people try to look at it from an “adult” point of view. When taken in the context of her situation, it is all understood.
Just because he shows his diaper does not instantly mean it is sexual. As for the “If it was anyone else…” argument, show me one case where someone got arrested for exposing their underwear in a non sexual-gratification manner.
With the limited info we have been given, I am not going to get all freaked out and yell “SEX FIEND” when things clearly point to another problem and the courts seem to agree.
9:32 pm on March 7th, 2009
That’s a good point. Maybe if she got him Depends instead of Elmo’s, he might fit in better with adults, or start flashing them instead. . . . it’s worth a shot.
On a happier note, he reminds me of Jim Carrey in the second mug shot.
10:08 pm on March 7th, 2009
Yeah my husband’s dyslexic, with 3 kids, a full time job, a house, and a super hot wife. Can’t really blame diaper flashing on dyslexia.Nice try, though…
8:50 am on March 8th, 2009
I agree we have limited info but he is listed on the sex offender registry- he pled guilty to the charges that got him on it. Perhaps he pled for lack of understanding the charges? If thats so, why hasnt anyone fought that and had him removed from the list?
Im disturbed that he is a registered sex offender for an act of lewdness concerning a child and still has the freedom to continue to expose himself (in his diaper) to children. Is there any explanation for this?
8:56 am on March 8th, 2009
I’m thinking his physically problem is maybe he is bed wetting still because he may be Mentally Handicapped. Or he may actually still be wetting his pants during the day. There is more to this story and I bet this 31 yr. old man may be more on a level of a child after reading this. I’m sorta agreeing with DV here because I have two children with disabilities and I need more information on this one. For the judge to dismiss the charge and then they decided not to arrest the other time there more to the story than meets the eye. But I could always be wrong. It may be more than dyslexia they just aren’t say what!
1:30 pm on March 8th, 2009
or his mom is embarrassed by his diapers and he senses this by her reaction to not show it. and when he is pissed bc he is frustrated bc he has to stop eating potato chips or pissed bc he doesnt understand the world – he does what she hates as a rebellious act. he shows his diaper to people. and he does it to kids either bc he knows they are not authorities or bc he knows that is a worse no-no and wants to get mommy good.

I wonder how that judge would feel if I happened to catch gave Diaper Boy exposing himself to my kids and ended up beating him to death. Did I murder him, or was I defending my children? he’s a wisp of a human being, and I weigh close to 300 lbs, so it’s not like I would have to lose it and beat him mercilessly – one badly placed punch or kick could end his life, whether I meant to happen or not.
Now what happens to me? That judge might think exposing his diaper to kids is harmless, but I don’t, and in my heart I know I would be protecting my children. Thanks to this judge I could be looking at a 2nd degree murder or manslaughter charge. Do these guys on the bench even consider that?
11:04 pm on March 8th, 2009
Or lived in the judges’ neighborhood. and acted out in the same fashion.

Ya’ll know this could just be a “conspiracy” of Huggies, so that parents won’t buy Pampers……just a theory……..Bwahahah!!!

Females can get arrested for exposing too much, like a thong, or bra, and in some state they started making arrests for drooping pants on dudes. So if you’re on the chets’ list, how could you not get arrested for dropping your pants in front of kids? And I feel for slow people (I cannot tolerate stupid ppl, tho) and the mentally whatever, but shouldn’t that make him even more of a concern? Can you really blame folk for keeping baseball bats, hammers, screwdrivers,sharp pencil, pepper spray, tazers right around their front door? Bytheway, I just need a sledgehammer, and a golf club, if anyone is interested…..
8:00 pm on March 9th, 2009
Uhhhhhh…….No wonder he was made fun of as a child!!!

A man known by law enforcement as “Diaper Boy” because of his history of showing off his diapers to young children, was arrested again by Salt Lake County Sheriff’s deputies Thursday.
Barton Jason Lewis Bagnes, 31, has been arrested several times in the past for allegedly showing the baby diaper that the 5-foot-3, 100-pound Bagnes wears, to young children. He is also a registered sex offender due to a lewdness involving a child conviction in 2000.
In the latest incident, deputies responded to a call just before 7 p.m. Thursday. of an adult showing his diaper to children.
“Several witnesses and young children said he had pulled his shirt up to his upper chest, exposing his torso with his shorts down to his knees, exposing his infant diaper that he had taped on his groin area, to children as he leaned his hips forward,” according to a Salt Lake County Jail report.
What made Thursday’s incident unique from the others was that Bagnes was passing out fliers for a website that shows children in diapers, said Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. Don Hutson. Some of the children appeared to be older than what would be considered the normal age for a diaper-wearing child. The sheriff’s office kept one of the fliers as evidence, Hutson said.
[...]
Despite his 2000 conviction, very few of Bagnes’ subsequent arrests have stuck.
In 2008, Bagnes was charged with 11 misdemeanor counts of lewdness involving a child for a 2007 incident. That same year, he was charged in August for thee felony counts of lewdness involving a child in a separate incident.
All charges were eventually dismissed because the crime did not fit the criteria of the charges. Part of that was due to the fact no genitalia was exposed.
Despite his recent releases, Hutson said the sheriff’s office would continue to arrest him everytime he displays his diapers to children.
“We’ve been instructed by the DA to bring each case to them,” Hutson said.
Some argue that what Bagnes is doing is no worse than a teen who wears his pants really low, exposing his boxer shorts. Hutson and the sheriff’s office disagree.
“The shock value is what’s different. A person with saggy pants is indiscriminately showing it to everyone. (Bagnes) is not wanting to show it to everybody. He’s only going up to a select group, specifically small children,” he said. “It’s very concerning.”

Since the law can’t seem to solve the anti-social issues of Diaper Boy, I think a bunch of Dads need to take this jerk camping and terrorize the shit out him. Should he DARE to prance up and down the streets in public again… more camping trips! Hey, sometimes we have to solve these sort of things ourselves. I’m not saying he should get an ass-whoopin’, but they could show him pictures of what he might look like if they did.
