Baltimore County Paramedic Gets 25 Years for Contaminating Workplace with Bodily Fluids

Christopher Carroll pleaded guilty to three counts after prosecutors said he filmed the acts and posted videos online.

  • On Tuesday, Baltimore County Circuit Judge Dennis M. Robinson Jr. sentenced former paramedic Christopher Carroll to 25 years in prison for purposefully spreading bodily fluids on coworkers' belongings and equipment.
  • Authorities launched an investigation in November 2025 after discovering 64 videos on the pornography site JustForFans showing Carroll masturbating and urinating on equipment inside Baltimore County Fire Station 2 and the Baltimore County Public Safety Building.
  • Investigators initiated 'hazmat cleaning' of stations after testing confirmed Carroll's DNA on items. Three coworkers delivered impact statements describing anger and humiliation, noting the conduct felt deeply personal because it occurred in protected spaces.
  • Defense attorney Seth Okin argued that trauma and mental health struggles contributed to Carroll's actions, noting the defendant is a former Maryland Army National Guard veteran. Carroll stated he was "truly sorry to everyone involved."
  • Steve Redmer, president of the Baltimore County firefighters union IAFF Local 1311, stated the sentence provides "meaningful accountability." Okin indicated Carroll is considering requesting a review from a three-judge panel, which could reduce, uphold, or increase the sentence.
