A Virginia man faces up to five years in prison after breaking into a house wearing just a bib and nappy.

Robert Alan Woods says he gets sexual pleasure from dressing and acting like a baby.

He admitted breaking into his neighbour's house and waiting in her bed with a tin of baby food.

Woods, 30, told a court in Roanoke he has a problem which needs help.

He said: "I am very sorry for what I've done, because I realise I made a big mistake."

He already faces two other parole hearings for burglary wearing nappies, the Roanoke Times reports.

The court heard Woods broke into his neighbour's home wearing a nappy and Tweety Bird bib.

When his neighbour returned home and found him in bed he apologised and started getting dressed.
