A Baltimore County Fire Department paramedic accused of contaminating food, equipment, and other items in a firehouse with his bodily fluids and filming the acts for distribution online to subscribers has pled guilty to three criminal charges.

Christopher Carroll, 36, pled guilty today to three counts of knowingly and willfully causing another person to ingest bodily fluid. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $2,500 fine.

Carroll was arrested in February following an investigation by Baltimore County Police into allegations that he recorded himself engaging in sexual acts involving items at Baltimore County Fire Department facilities and posted the videos online.

He was originally facing 23 charges, 20 counts of causing another person to ingest bodily fluid and three counts of malicious destruction of property.

The investigation began in November 2025 after a Baltimore County Fire Department supervisor reported learning about videos posted online that appeared to show Carroll engaging in conduct that would cause others to unknowingly come into contact with or ingest his bodily fluids.

According to charging documents and statements made by prosecutors, investigators recovered videos depicting Carroll ejaculating or urinating on a variety of items, including an ice machine and ice scoop, bottles of juice and hand soap, a communal pot of chili, an ambulance, and an air-conditioning vent.

One video allegedly showed Carroll urinating on ice in an ice machine, wiping himself on the scoop, and then using the scoop to mix the contaminated ice throughout the machine. Other videos allegedly depicted contamination of an orange juice carton, lip balm, canned vegetables and other items.

Authorities said some of the conduct occurred at Baltimore County Fire Station 2 in Pikesville and at the Baltimore County Public Safety Building in Towson. Prosecutors alleged Carroll recorded the conduct and posted the videos online as part of an effort to attract paying subscribers.

The allegations prompted Baltimore County to undertake hazmat cleaning and replace ice machines at all 25 of its career fire stations, as well as clean portions of the Public Safety Building. The remediation reportedly cost approximately $263,000.

Carroll has been held without bail since his arrest in February. Prosecutors were originally seeking a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison. Under the plea agreement, prosecutors are recommending a total sentence of 30 years, with all but 20 years suspended, followed by five years of supervised probation.

Carroll is scheduled to be sentenced on October 13. Under Maryland Rule 4-243(c), the agreed sentence is not binding on the court unless the judge approves the agreement. If the judge approves the agreement, the judge generally must impose the agreed disposition. If the judge rejects it, Carroll must be given the opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea.
