Trial Set For Paramedic Accused Of Masturbating On Workplace Items

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND — The trial date has been set in the case of a Baltimore County paramedic who is accused of urinating and masturbating at work and placing his bodily fluids on items used by his coworkers.

Christopher Carroll, who faces 23 misdemeanor charges, will have his case laid out in court on Oct. 13. The date was booked Wednesday at a procedural hearing before Baltimore County Circuit Judge Dennis Robinson Jr.

Carroll is charged with 20 counts of knowingly and willfully causing others to ingest his bodily fluids and three counts of malicious destruction of property.

He has been held without bond since Feb. 5 at the Baltimore County Detention Center. District Judge Marsha Russell previously denied a bail request after concluding there was no guarantee Carroll would not pose a threat to the public.

Deputy State's Attorney Lisa Dever told The Banner she anticipates the trial will last less than one week. Defense attorney Seth Okin also indicated that he intends to file for a new bail hearing.

Carroll's arrest came months after the Baltimore County Police Department launched its investigation, which resulted in video evidence that showed "individuals unknowingly coming into contact with, or ingesting, Carroll's bodily fluids."

Video footage previously flagged during legal proceedings revealed that Carroll had filmed himself urinating and masturbating on a variety of items in the workplace, including but not limited to, fire equipment, iceboxes, soap dispensers, a carton of orange juice, an air conditioning vent, lip balm, and a pot of chili.

The Banner previously reported that video also showed Carroll masturbating behind his children as they watched TV inside his home.

Carroll has acknowledged the video footage, explaining he created the content as part of a role play he engaged in with other individuals.

In a separate civil case, court records show that Carroll is appealing a protective order that was granted to his wife last year.

Carroll's wife, who has filed for divorce, previously said her husband recorded footage showing him masturbating on her toothbrush and inside a mouthwash bottle. Carroll has said both items belonged to him.
