Lucio Catarino Diaz was given a six-year prison sentence for infecting over a dozen office workers with sexually transmitted diseases by contaminating their water bottles with his urine. The Texas janitor’s disturbing actions resulted in at least 13 women contracting herpes and hepatitis-A at a Houston medical building in 2022. Diaz, 52, was caught on camera committing the revolting act and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He will be eligible for parole after serving three years of his sentence. Despite already spending two years in jail, he will not be required to register as a sex offender. One victim, who discovered her water had been tampered with, set up a hidden camera that captured Diaz urinating in her water bottle. The incident led to Diaz’s arrest, where he admitted to his actions, citing “malicious intent” and a “sickness.” Other women who unknowingly consumed contaminated water also tested positive for the incurable STDs. The victims have filed a lawsuit seeking over $1 million in damages against Diaz and the custodial company that employed him.
