A former Wheaton North High School student who contaminated salad dressing there with his own semen escaped a jail term on Wednesday when he instead was fined $750 and ordered to perform 120 hours of community service work.
Marco Raphael G. Castro, 17, faced up to one year behind bars when he was sentenced for misdemeanor disorderly conduct stemming from the Dec. 6 incident at the school, where he was then a senior.
DuPage County Judge Terence Sheen instead placed Castro on two years probation -- and imposed the other conditions.
As part of his sentence, Castro was ordered to do community service work for an agency that works with AIDS patients. The judge also ordered Castro, who was expelled from Wheaton North, to continue his education. Castro also must write a letter of apology to school officials and students.
In his guilty plea, Castro admitted taking a bottle of ranch salad dressing from the school's junior-senior cafeteria into a restroom, then ejaculating into it. He later returned the bottle to the cafeteria.
Castro underwent medical testing after his arrest -- fellow students turned him in -- and was found to be free of any communicable diseases, officials have said. No one at the school reported falling ill after the incident. The sentence holds Castro accountable for his actions, a spokesman for DuPage County State's Attorney Joseph Birkett said.
