DALLAS (AP) _ A grand jury has indicted a transvestite on a felony charge of injury to a child in connection with the fatal scalding of a 5-month-old boy he had been baby-sitting.

Police allege Richard Arthur Gilbert, 29, a former beautician, posed as a woman to get a job baby-sitting for Arthur Baker, son of Andrew and Vera Baker of University Park.

The grand jury issued its indictment Wednesday. Gilbert was being held in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Police said Gilbert was made up as a woman in the photo on his Texas driver’s license, and University Park investigator John B. McDonell said officers did not realize Gilbert was a man until he was being booked into jail last month in connection with the Sept. 26 scalding.

The infant died Monday, but authorities said the charges against Gilbert probably would not be upgraded to murder since both charges carry the a maximum penalty of life in prison and injury to a child is easier to prove.

However, an additional charge of aggravated sexual assault was filed Tuesday against Gilbert in connection with the alleged molesting of a 2-year- old Dallas boy he baby-sat last summer, said Dallas police investigator Paul Ronyak.

Officers said the mother of the 2-year-old read about Gilbert’s arrest and recognized the photo as that of Jean Gilbert, who baby-sat her two sons, ages 5 and 2, earlier this year.

Officers say Gilbert has posed as a woman baby sitter for at least a year by answering newspaper advertisements.
