A chef, identified as 27-year-old Othello Holmes, has been apprehended on allegations of contaminating the food he was preparing by placing his genitals into it. Additionally, court documents reveal that Holmes was in possession of child pornography.
Initially prompted by reports of attempted indecent assault, the investigation escalated when management at Kulture restaurant in downtown Houston reported Holmes for engaging in sexual misconduct, captured on surveillance footage.
Constable Alan Rosen expressed profound concern over the disturbing nature of the incident, highlighting the swift action taken by the restaurant to shut down operations upon learning of Holmes’ behavior.
“The behaviors observed and recorded are deeply troubling,” Constable Alan Rosen remarked. “The restaurant promptly ceased operations, refusing service to any patrons.”
Holmes, who confessed to grappling with recurrent impulses and a history of sexual misconduct, was apprehended and charged with attempted indecent assault.
In collaboration with law enforcement, Kulture restaurant promptly closed its doors and assisted in the apprehension of Holmes. A subsequent examination of Holmes’ phone uncovered a cache of over 100 illicit videos and images of child pornography, leading to additional charges.
Constable Rosen condemned Holmes’ actions, characterizing him as a predator and expressing grave concerns about potential harm to children. Disturbing recordings depicting Holmes engaging in inappropriate conduct in the presence of a minor were also found on his phone.
