GILBERT, AZ - A Gilbert man was arrested for pretending to have Down syndrome and hiring caregivers to bathe him and change his diapers.
Police say they arrested 31-year-old Paul Anthony Menchaca on September 6 at his home, near Val Vista Drive and Williams Field Road.
Menchaca reportedly posed as "Amy" and hired a caregiver to bathe and change the diapers of her son with Down syndrome.
The first victim later reported to police that she assisted Menchaca with diaper changes and baths on 30 occasions over the summer. These happened at various locations in the East Valley.
A second and third victim took over caregiving duties starting in July. Police say the three victims all know each other, and all said Menchaca would become sexually aroused as he was being bathed.
ABC15 spokes to some of the caregivers, who asked to remain anonymous, who said the met Menchaca on apps like Carelinx and care.com
"He needed shower and grooming, he couldn't use the bathroom himself, he couldn't really be alone by himself. He acted like a child; his whole demeanor was childlike. He would act in tantrums, talk like a child, act like a child," one caregiver said. "Why would
He acted like a child; his whole demeanor was childlike. He would act in tantrums, talk like a child, act like a child," one caregiver said. "Why would you do that? Why would you make us change you knowing you didn't have to. Why didn't you give us a choice?"
At one point, the first victim became suspicious and followed Menchaca to his actual home, after he was dropped off by another caregiver.
Typical Democrat.
He is clearly crazy for real. He should be put into an institution, not jail.
I have a caregiver doing this for me three times a week, so I get a chuckle out of it.
He was a school crossing guard.
I’m sure there’s some Dem support group for those identifying as mentally disabled.
Sure is crazy, caregivers are real expensive! He could have asked around downtown and gotten takers for free.
Huh?! It's now a crime to be actually smarter than you act? Mr. Menchaca commited a crime by acting dumber than he actually is?
So I guess that I am guilty of a felony if I vote Democrat, although I actually have a genius-level I.Q. of 149?

Those CNA girls would be better off working for an agency.
A good agency will send someone to meet face to face with the client and present caregivers. If the caregivers still get tricked, they can at least say it was the agency’s fault for not looking more closely. When one is needing to find work, you want to close the deal, and may not always pre-qualify properly. Now, everyone in that town knows this guy is a pervert and a liar.
Bam! Nailed it!

You had a choice not to take the job. Last I checked acting like a child wasn’t a crime, but what do I know.

Is this Al Gore’s new tactic to get girls to release his lower chakra?
Less outrage about people who are capable of finding a paying job not getting off the couch and going to work.
Sick Liberal with TDS.
I didn’t know being horny and crazy was a crime. Unlike BJ Clinton he paid the women.
Not sure about that, but my question is how in the heck did he fake Downs Syndrome?? The physical characteristics of DS are pretty distinctive.
What crime is he big charged with?
