Man Pretends To Be Disabled In Bizarre Scam

[Roon]

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A Florida woman was duped into changing diapers and providing care for a man she met through Craigslist who feigned disabilities. Turns out the man who hired Janet Schulte to look after an adult brother with diminished mental capacity was the same guy she bottle-fed and treated like a child for three months.

Schulte said the worst thing is that authorities can't go after the man because he appears not to have committed any crime. Though the man lied, he typically paid the agreed $600 weekly for her services.

4. Okay, that is bizare and gross.

That guy has a serious problem if he has such a compulsion to satisfy his fetish that he goes to those lengths.

At the very least, she should be able to sue him for fraud. He hired her with false information with false intentions.

I'm sure she feels horribly violated. Eww! She had to change his diapers?

8. Yep... and if she was a good caregiver she was kind and pleasant

and friendly while she did it, because she genuinely cared about his emotional needs as well as his physical ones... at least that's how I was trained.

What a detestable little shit he is.

9. Um, he hired her to perform a specific service for an agreed-upon sum, which she did.

Unless the contract specifies the REASONS he required/desired the service, there is no fraud.

She AGREED to change his diapers, and was compensated for this per their arrangement.

11. She was hired to care for a person who couldn't care for himself

by performing those specific services for that sum.

If he could care for himself, and he was hiring her to perform those services because it gave him some kind of pleasure, then she's not a caretaker anymore. She becomes an entertainer. She didn't sign up to be an entertainer. Yet, it's definitely fraud.

14. she was hired to change a guy's diaper

no mention in that about the guy REQUIRING that service, only being willing to pay amount X for service Z. She contracted and complied and got paid. There is no fraud here.

6. I will say this the man was as brilliant as he was perverse

Talk about a clever way to carry out a baby fetish.

10. You beat me to it!

12. Fraud isn't a crime?

but I guess since he was paying for the service, it does get a big cloudy.

13. It would be if he was collecting disability from the government

or workmen's comp.

15. it's not fraud, just a lie

If I hire you to clean my windows, and you agree to do so in exchange for a sum of money, then it doesn't matter one bit how the windows got dirty (or even if the windows are sufficiently dirty to require cleaning) - you perform the service as contracted, I pay you as contracted, and that's that.

16. Was the man's name Andy Pipkin, by any chance?
