Houston- On April 25th, 2024 Othello Larenzo Holmes, 27, a restaurant cook, was accused and arrested for sticking his genitals into open food items at Kulture Restaurant which is located in Houston,Texas. Holmes was also found in possession of child pornography on his cell phone according to charging documents.
The investigation was launched on April 4th of 2023 after a Harris County Deputy arrived at the restaurant to meet the manager at their downtown location according to KPRC News. The manager showed the deputies video of Holmes placing his penis into food items at that location. KPRC reported that Holmes reportedly confessed to putting his genitals into the jelly stating,”he had sexual urges, however he stopped himself before he ejaculated.
” He also admitted to having these urges frequently and has a history of sexual offenses, saying he has these problems with sexual urges and needs help, records show. It’s not clear from the documents if this is Holmes’ first time allegedly contaminating food with his genitals.
The child pornography and the charges led to further investigation by the Harris County District Attorney Office Digital Forensic Unit. Holmes was given written consent on April 15th. According to documents, investigators found over 100 images and 5 videos of child pornography. The videos contained children from infancy to teens engaged in sexual intercourse and various sexual acts documents state. Records indicate that an image was discovered on the device, revealing a chat conversation within the Telegram platform.
The conversation allegedly occurred between Holmes and a user with the username “Princess” in a chat room named the “Devil Lair.”I apologize for the oversight.
In the chat conversation, one participant (referred to as “Holmes”) expresses a disturbing sentiment: “Super pervy yesterday. I wish I had access to kids.” The other participant (“Princess”) responds with empathy: “I wish you did too 😢.”
Additionally, two videos were extracted from the chat records. These videos show Holmes engaging in inappropriate behavior, specifically fondling his genitals while lying near an unidentified child who appears to be under 6 years old. Investigators identified him based on tattoos visible on his arm and the bedding seen in other videos.
“We continued our investigation into this individual, and I’m relieved that we did. Our efforts led to obtaining a subpoena for his phone, where we discovered deeply disturbing content. Specifically, we found child pornography, and there is a genuine concern that he may have molested young children at some point,” shared Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen with KPRC 2’s Bryce Newberry.
Given the nature of the evidence, along with statements made by Holmes about seeking help for his sexual urges and the Telegram conversations, it was evident that Holmes posed a danger to society and should not be allowed near children.
“I want to emphasize that this individual is a predator. I don’t make that statement lightly,” added Rosen.
Investigators are actively seeking parents who have children that may know Holmes. They believe he might have been involved in creating and sharing his own child pornography. If you have any relevant information, please contact them at (713)-755-7628. It’s crucial to protect children from such threats.
Fox 26 was able to get a comment from the owner of Kulture ( Marcus Davis). Davis tells Fox 26 that “ Houston Streets are safer tonight because we took a pedophile off the street”.
