Many of you may have never heard of the group Pretty Ricky. They had a number one album back in 2007 called Late Night Special. Many more of you probably have no idea the former lead singer of the group is a guy who uses the name Pleasure P. Pleasure's real name is Marcus, but he is lucky apparently that he is not in jail for child molestation. A site called Word On The Streets broke a story yesterday which seemed to indicate that Marcus was kicked out of the group for molesting kids.
Apparently Marcus had molested a four year old child and was about to molest another when the police came. The four year old was Marcus' nephew.
The story was discovered because the attorney hired to defend Marcus has a daughter who is also the attorney's assistant and blabbed on her Twitter about it.
Well after the story broke, the site Straight From The A managed to get their hands on court documents (above) which show that Marcus is supposed to stay away from the child he molested. That is probably a good idea. A very good idea.
The interesting thing about this is the group was asked why Marcus left the band. Although they didn't come out and say he was a child molester, they wanted to make it perfectly clear that he was fired from the band and did not quit.
"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. ~ Pretty Ricky"
He should be behind bars. I have absolutely no tolerance for child molesters, especially since my son was molested at age 11 by his Big Brother (as in Big Brothers/ Sisters) and I have had to live for many years with the results of that trauma, watching a young man's life be ruined because of it. In my mind there is no punishment too harsh for someone who harms a child.
ReplyDeleteOh Syko, that is awful. Not only is it a horrible crime, but such a violation of trust.
ReplyDeletePleasure P is also dating Eddie Murphy's 20 year old daughter
ReplyDeleteUgh, this story just exemplifies how disgusting the entertainment industry can really be. I don't care if the star has a career as big as beyonce - that doesn't make ruining children's lives okay. who the hell are these people scrambling around to cover this up, like pleasure p is someone anyone knows or gives a shit about, yeah, let's protect HIM. and now HE'S got the lawyer and is trying to keep the group's mouth shut??! Seriously, if I were in Pretty Ricki (worst group name evah) I would be shouting what this piece of shit did from the rooftops - let him sue, if the police actually did come and stop this crime from happening again (i.e. witness it) he's got no recourse.
ReplyDeleteAll of the people involved in covering this up and allowing for more possible victims can just go straight to hell.
enty, now that the info was leaked by the daughter,does this jeopardize the case? will this fuck get off?

ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer that these assholes should have their genitals cut off along with their hands. May you rot in hell.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same questions that jax is asking but not that colorful hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI also am a firm believer in castration when it comes to men sexually abusing kids.
ReplyDeleteThat poor child... he will have scars forever. I agree he should be behind bars so other children are not exploited. Sick.
ReplyDelete...and eddie murphy publicly gave the okay for the relationship between this guy and his daughter (there was a question of the age/maturity level difference) before this story broke two weeks ago...jeez
ReplyDelete@Syko: I am so sorry.
ReplyDelete@Sarah & Sylvia: Ditto! And then they should be released to the general prison population 'cause we know how they treat child molesters.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting.
ReplyDeleteMango, I like your idea!
ReplyDeleteSyko--I am sorry to read this, but I have always wondered what kind of man signs up to be a Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteMy sister was briefly married to a man who was abandoned by his father as a small child. He became a Big Brother based on that. However, my entire family was convinced he was a pedophile. There was something really creepy about him.
They divorced within 10 months, & we never foiund out why.
I hope this man burns in hell.
ReplyDeletejeez, let's not label all men who sign up to be a big brother pedophiles. i've known 2 men who had rough childhoods and wanted to help a kid have it easier. their motive was above reproach and it was a rewarding experience all the way around.
ReplyDeletei knew an attorney who did it because he was a very socially responsible person.
by the way, the attorney ended up being robbed at gunpoint by his 'little brother' and some of his friends. so this shit cuts both ways.
Oh, I don't think all Big Brothers are pedophiles. It's just that the only two I have actually known were. The second one molested my friend's son and his whole scout troop - and she had been dating him.
ReplyDeleteI think it's as much my fault for trusting that they screened him. Plus, the guy was a Marine - he had me pin on his bars when he made warrant officer. Can't get much more macho. But this was in the early 80s and sexual abuse was not the open subject it is today, and I'd had no experience with it at all. And it's my son's fault too, for not telling me immediately. Oddly, the kids often love their molesters and don't want to get them in trouble. He waited 20 years to tell me. And after a lifetime of drug abuse, depression and suicide attempts, he is finally getting therapy and is better than he has been since he was a child. But thank you to everyone who expressed empathy.
I still think they should be genitally mutilated...or just confined in the general population at the state pen. Even felons don't like child molesters.
omg, that precious little 4 yr old...you know they're turning up the furnace and reserving a special spot in hell for pleasure prick.
ReplyDeleteHe must have heard that you get to spend time in Swiss chalets for doing that kind of shit.
