The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Christopher Carroll, 36, a Baltimore County, Maryland paramedic, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of causing another person to ingest bodily fluids in three separate incidents. Mixed · 2The conduct took place between September and December 2025 at a Baltimore County fire station in Pikesville and at county fire department offices, and he was arrested in February 2026. Mixed · 2Prosecutors said he put semen into a coffee creamer that he returned to a communal fridge, and onto his female supervisor's keyboard; he was also accused of urinating in an ice machine, and of contaminating an ambulance and food cooked at a firehouse.

Mixed · 2Metro reported that 16 people used the ice maker in the five days between contamination and discovery; the New York Post, citing WBAL, said over a dozen workers used it, and that the machine was replaced, offices and stations given 'hazmat cleaning' and several vehicles sanitised. Mixed · 2Carroll filmed the acts and posted them online with the caption 'They always say don't drink the yellow snow, but I'm just trying to make a slushie.' The New York Post, citing the Baltimore Banner and WBAL, said at least 64 videos went on the paid adult site JustForFans at $7, and that he told the court he 'wanted to be some sort of porn star'; Metro said the video was posted to his X account. Mixed · 2At sentencing Carroll said he was 'truly sorry to everyone involved'; Metro also quoted him calling himself 'just a dumb man who made a horrible decision'.

Mixed · 2The judge said 'This was not a joke or a prank', and Deputy State's Attorney Lisa Dever said the acts were inflicted on 'a community of people who only want to serve'. Prosecutors had sought 30 years, and the Post said Carroll took a deal in August. Mixed · 2A colleague wrote that eating food or getting ice at the station 'has become a concern' and that broken trust 'will not be easy to get back'; an anonymous victim said Carroll 'preyed on the very people who trust him most'. Right · 1The Post, citing CBS News Baltimore, added that prosecutors alleged there may be other victims, including a doctor's office fragrance dispenser he allegedly urinated in, and that another video allegedly showed his two children in the background.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
