Janitor Sentenced to Six Years for Intentionally Spreading STDs at Texas Doctor’s Office

Lucio Diaz, a former janitor, was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon due to his actions of intentionally infecting women with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) at a Houston doctor’s office. The disturbing case unfolded when employees noticed an unusual taste and odor in the office water, leading to investigations that confirmed it was contaminated with urine. A hidden camera recorded Diaz contaminating a coworker’s water bottle, revealing that he was carrying chlamydia and herpes at the time. His attorney stated that Diaz accepted responsibility and expressed remorse for his actions, with subsequent lawsuits reporting that multiple women tested positive for STDs as a result of his misconduct.
