A cook has been arrested after he allegedly put his genitals into the food he was preparing.
According to court documents, 27-year-old Othello Holmes was also found in possession of child pornography.
The inquiry, which began with allegations of attempted indecent assault, intensified when Holmes, a chef at Kulture restaurant in downtown Houston, was reported by management for sexual conduct caught on tape.
Constable Alan Rosen voiced deep worry about the incident's distressing character, emphasizing the restaurant's swift closure upon discovering Holmes' behavior.
"The things I've seen and the behaviour I've witnessed are very disturbing," Constable Alan Rosen said.
"When the restaurant found out about this behavior going on, they immediately shut down, to everybody, they had not served a single patron of the restaurant."
Holmes, who admitted to having recurring impulses and a history of sexual offenses, was arrested and charged with attempted indecent assault.
The Kulture restaurant acted quickly, closing its doors and working with police to help Holmes be arrested.
A further search of Holmes' phone revealed over 100 films and photographs of child pornography, resulting in more charges.
Constable Rosen denounced Holmes' conduct, labeling him as a predator and expressing concern about the possible harm to children. Incriminating recordings of Holmes engaging in improper behavior in front of a youngster were also discovered on his phone.
