“Employees at a Houston medical office were blindsided by a shocking betrayal…What started as a strange taste in the office water quickly unraveled into a disturbing discovery — one that sparked a criminal investigation, triggered a health crisis, led to a $1 million lawsuit, and ended with a prison sentence,” reports Truthfully.com:
It started in late August 2022, when a female employee at a local doctor’s office noticed something off about the water she drank at work. The office’s water cooler had a foul odor and strange taste. Hoping to avoid it, she began bringing her own bottled water from home, only to find the same issue after leaving her water bottle overnight. After weeks of dealing with foul-tasting water, a coworker offered to make her a cup of coffee — and immediately noticed something was off. The water bottle she was handed had a yellow tint. Lab testing later confirmed the horrifying truth: the bottle contained urine. To find answers, the employee placed a hidden camera near her desk as she left for the evening — and what she uncovered was worse than she could have imagined.
The footage revealed janitor Lucio Catarino Diaz, 53, sticking his penis into her water bottle, urinating in it, and placing it back on her desk. Under police questioning, Diaz admitted to urinating in both the water bottles and the office dispenser…When asked why he targeted the water, he responded that he knew the women would drink it the next day.
The situation escalated when medical testing revealed that the female employee had contracted Herpes simplex virus type 1. She had no history of the infection prior. Additional tests on Diaz confirmed he was a carrier of both HSV-1 and chlamydia. Eventually, 13 employees were tested, and several were found to have infections.
