Marcus “Pleasure P” Cooper’s past is coming back to haunt him
You would think that after receiving three Grammy nominations, yesterday would have been the best day in Pleasure P’s, formerly of the group Pretty Ricky, day. But that’s not the case.
A woman by the name of Laura Goldstein, the daughter of a Florida attorney apparently involved in several child molestation cases against Pleasure P (real name Marcus Cooper) when he was a teenager, put him on blast by contacting a blog with specific details and documents regarding child molestation charges against Cooper.
While Goldstein leaked apparent court documents against Cooper, an anonymous source has come forward and claimed that he inappropriately touched and penetrated his young niece and nephew. Goldstein further claims inappropriate behavior with other children.
Somehow, Cooper was able to have these cases “sealed,” which explains former bandmate Spectacular’s reaction to the document leak on Twitter, after a fan inquired whether he knew about the charges:
“WOW! Who told u that!?? That was sealed!”
Following the leak of the documents, Pretty Ricky along with their manager released the following statement, which basically gives it all away without giving it all away… if that makes any sense to you.
Unfortunately due to Pleasure P’s lawyer filing an injunction against us from speaking, we are not at liberty to speak about the case. How ever 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.
The rumor is that Pleasure P was forced out of the group due to rising tensions among group members about these specific charges, and they’re basically confirming this rumor with that poorly written statement.
I hate gossip and rumors, but this really makes you go hmmm. The pieces to this puzzle seem to fit together perfectly, and the proof is really in the documents.
Whether this is 100% true or not, I seriously doubt people will be able to look at him the same. I know I won’t be able to.
There are so many unanswered questions with this case. How were the documents sealed? Why was there only little punishment? Does the document leak violate attorney-client privilege? I think that were only seeing the beginning of what will turn into a greater scandal.
