Pretty Ricky’s Pleasure P a Pedophile(?)
The following story is setting the internet aflame:
Laura Goldstein, daughter of a Florida attorney, has decided to tell her truth in regards to singer Pleasure Pedophile, a.k.a. Marcus Cooper of R&B group Pretty Ricky. Word is, her dad represented Pleasure “P” in the molestation case. Apparently, she even has documentation to support her case.
“My dad was being paid to cover it up but they owe my dad a lot of money and don’t want to pay him. I first overheard my dad say that it was someone famous but I found out who he was talking about. This guy Pleasure P got kicked out of a group because he was hiding that he was a child molester. His managers or whatever hired my dad to keep it quiet so he could get a record deal. The guy Pleasure P molested a 4 yr old child and was about to molest another one when police came and saved the child. Now, the truth is out they’re threatening my family and telling my dad he’s going to get sued. But they can’t because its a crime.”
Pleasure Pedo’s former band mates and company have said:
“Unfortunately due to Pleasure P’s lawyer filing an injunction against us from speaking, we are not at liberty to speak about the case. However we will let it be known that we did kick him out of the group, he did not leave on is own free will. We did a deal with Atlantic via Craig Calman that we would let him out of the group if they bought out his contract with us and Blue Star, which is the official label of Pretty Ricki. We are not at liberty to discuss why we kicked him out of the group.”
Woooooooot!?!?!?!? This sick piece of information may be public knowledge now, but it sounds as if at some point, it was a full fledged cover up. Simply put, heinous.
