The inquiry commenced on April 4 when a Harris County deputy responded to a call at Kulture, a downtown Houston restaurant, to meet with its manager. According to records, the manager presented deputies with a video capturing Holmes inserting his genitals into uncovered food items at the establishment.

Holmes purportedly admitted to placing his genitals in jelly, saying "he had a sexual urge, however, he stopped himself before he ejaculated." He further confessed to experiencing these urges frequently and disclosed a history of sexual offenses and the need for assistance, per court records.
