Pleasure P Responds To Molestation Accusations

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.10235/title.


Please P, former member of R&B group Pretty Ricky, has released a statement regarding recent child molestation accusations, which arose after purported court documents regarding the matter.




"All of the recent rumors and accusations that are being circulated about me are 100% false," wrote P via his site, PleasurePMusic.com on Thursday (December 3). "They are disgusting and vile; and they are being spread by individuals with their own sick agendas. The purported documents that are also being circulated are forgeries. I have never met or known anyone by the name of "AGoldstein" or Laura Goldstein or Ashley Goldstein, which I believe are fictitious names. I have never been represented by an attorney named Goldstein. For someone to go to such depths to assassinate my character and slander my good name is truly criminal. My attorneys are investigating this matter and will take all necessary and appropriate action to protect my name and reputation."



Pleasure P's statement came in response to a woman named Laura Goldstein, whose Twitter posts (user name @AGoldsteinGirl) and photos of court documents attempted to implicate the singer in the molestation of a 3-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl.



Goldstein claimed Pleasure P hired her father to seal the records, and prevent members of Pretty Ricky from speaking on the matter, and that P never paid for the legal services.



"My dad was being paid to cover it up, but they owe my dad a lot of money and now they don't want to pay him," Tweeted Goldstein. "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."



Pretty Ricky released a statement confirming that Pleasure P was indeed kicked out of the group, and that they could not comment on rumors. "Unfortunately due to Pleasure P's lawyer filing an injunction against us from speaking, we are not at liberty to speak about the case," the group said on their website. "However we will let it be known that we did kick him out of the group, he did not leave on his own free will."
