Houston Restaurant Worker Accused Of Putting His Genitals In Customer's Food, Possessing Child Pornography

A Houston restaurant cook has been accused of putting his genitals in customer's food and possession child pornography because he had "frequent urges."

Othello Larenzo Holmes, 27, is charged with five counts of possessing child pornography and engaging in indecent assault.

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.

Upon contact by phone, a manager at Kulture Restaurant informed KPRC-2 that Holmes had served as a cook at the establishment for several months but has since ceased employment.

Holmes reportedly granted permission in writing for the examination of his mobile device on April 15th.

Per official records, law enforcement personnel extracted more than 100 pictures and five video clips featuring child pornography. The files depicted children ranging from infancy to adolescence, participating in activities such as sexual intercourse and various sexual acts, as detailed in the records.

Records indicate that Holmes was incarcerated at the Harris County Jail with a bail set at $500,000.

"Houston streets are safer tonight because we took a pedophile off the street," Marcus Davis, the owner of Kulture restaurant, said.

Chris Tritico, a political analyst said "it's a crime to intentionally damage the food or harm the food for the purpose of getting people sick," Fox-26 reports.
