A cleaner who carried an incurable venereal disease by urinating in a water purifier and a private water bottle drunk by employees was sentenced to six years in prison.

According to ABC and other U.S. media, a Texas court on the 18th (local time) ruled against Lucio Catarino Diaz (53, man), who was accused of 'weighted assault'.

His crime was committed in 2022, but it came back into the spotlight after the recent trial.




Working as a cleaner at a hospital in Houston, Texas, he was found to have put body fluids such as urine in an employee water purifier and a personal water bottle or rubbed the opening of the water bottle with his genital organs.

As a result, 12 female employees were infected with 'Simple Shing Virus Type 1', a type of venereal disease.

This disease is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes virus, which causes rickets in the lips or vulva in the genital organs.




It is mainly transmitted through contact with people with herpes virus, and most of them are asymptomatic, but when immunity is reduced, blisters appear.

It is classified as an incurable disease in that recurrence is frequent and it is difficult to cure.

According to police, a female staff member of the hospital considered the water purifier water to be fishy in September 2022 because it often smells strange and tastes sour. A bucket of water from home also smelled and tasted similar.




In response, she installed a small camera on her computer.

Then one day, Diaz, an employee cleaning at night, came into the office, unzipped his pants, put his genitals in a water bottle and peed. He was even seen rubbing the opening of the water bottle with his genitals, closing the lid and then leaving.

Diaz, who was arrested by police for reporting an employee, confessed to committing the crime several times.

Tests showed that he was carrying simple herpes virus type 1 and chlamydia, a type of venereal disease.

A total of 13 women were found to have simple herpes virus type 1 or hepatitis A after testing the affected employees.

Prosecutors argued that Diaz's urine and other bodily fluids are considered a 'deadly weapon' because simple herpes virus type 1 can cause immune system damage and serious complications, and his actions amount to aggravated assault.

In response, the court sentenced him to six years in prison. Diaz, who is currently serving more than two years in prison, has about three years left in his sentence.

Victims will file a civil suit separately, protesting that it is a `too light sentence.'
