A man in Texas who worked as a cook in a restaurant was allegedly caught sticking his genitals in food items, which reportedly led to the police finding his stash of child pornography.
At the beginning of April, the manager at Kulture Restaurant in Houston notified the authorities about one of their employees tainting the food. They reported that they had video of it, and a deputy from the Harris County Sheriff’s Department went to the location to investigate.
The manager presented the deputy with the video, and the deputy reportedly confirmed that it appeared as if the cook put his penis in the food. According to reports, when he was asked about it, the man said he used the jelly to satisfy his sexual urges. He also reportedly said he believes he needs help. The restaurant closed, and all the food was thrown in the garbage.
The authorities opened an investigation, and on April 15, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office Digital Forensic Unit asked the man if they could inspect his cell phone, and he reportedly handed it over. They searched through the files and allegedly found several pornographic items containing children. They reported that there were more than 100 pictures, and at least 5 videos on the device. They also reported that one of the videos showed the man nude and touching himself with a youngster near him.
The suspect was taken into custody and booked into the Harris County Jail. He is facing preliminary charges for five counts of possession of child pornography, in addition to being accused of indecent assault. The judge ordered he be held on a $500,000 bond for the child pornography allegations. He has a court date scheduled for June 6.
