A Dallas County jury convicted a 62-year-old man of indecent exposure after concluding that he purposefully exposed himself to a woman and her newborn at a self-service car wash, prosecutors said.
On May 14, 2026, Elrick Wade was found guilty of indecent exposure with two or more previous convictions and sentenced to 12 years in jail.
Prosecutors say Wade exposed himself at a self-service car wash when a young woman was present with a baby.
During the trial, Wade claimed he was only urinating. However, jurors disregarded this argument and issued a guilty conviction.
The case was prosecuted by lead attorney Sarah Hayes and second-chair prosecutor Shanna Gosey. Jessie Allen supplied appellate support. District Attorney Investigator Aleciah Taylor and paralegal Mildred Gibbs also helped with the case.
The Dallas Police Department handled the investigation.
Following his conviction, Wade was sentenced to 12 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
