UPDATE: Pleasure P denies all rumors, and it seems his brothers in Pretty Ricky, is Pretty Shady for instigating this mess:
The following statement was issued by Marcus Cooper p/k/a Pleasure P through his attorney Robert Meloni, Meloni & McCaffrey:
All of the recent rumors and accusations that are being circulated about me are 100% false. 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.“
DISCLAIMER: I know I’m late but not because of lack of knowledge. I just didn’t want to post this story until more facts were in. These are some serious allegations to report, especially if they weren’t true. I wouldn’t want to put the thought in anyone’s head, without any proof. But this is how it all started…
Well I am VERY close to the situation and BOTH parties and I want you to understand that it is ALL TRUE. Not speculation or anything. He was convicted. The problem lies in Blue Star Entertainment, the label that housed and groomed Pretty Ricky. They paid a substantial amount of money to have these documents sealed back in 2006. {Source}
Well, yesterday, there was a letter circulating that suggested Pleasure P, ousted member of Pretty Ricky, was a convicted child molester. There is only one person I trust in this industry to get the facts, and that’s Necole Bitchie. Today, she posted a letter on her website detailing the sexual offenses, with court documents as proof.
Now I feel compelled to tell you that Pleasure P is a convicted pedophile. The sad thing is he’s been dating Eddie Murphy’s daughter, Bria, and this is probably the first time she has been confronted with these allegations against her man.
When he was 16 going on 17, he was left alone with his niece and nephew with whom he touched and penetrated with fingers on several occasions. His aunt noticed his niece complaining of her genital area hurting, when asked what happened she replied “Uncle Marcus keeps touching me and he hurt me”. Of course Marcus (Pleasure P) denied the allegations but the doctor found signs that she had vaginal damage and tearing. Charges were then pursued by the State of Florida. The incident happened in 2004 going into 2005. He served like 8 months, rehab and community service by time the trial came up. Marcus accepted a plea with the State of Florida and Joseph Smith who is the care giver of the niece and nephew which Marcus “Pleasure P” Cooper molested. These are not the only papers filed against him. These are the first of 3. As part of the plea agreement Marcus plead guilty and paid an “undisclosed amount” to remain free and have the records “sealed” and on the family level for them to remain quiet and not to speak publicly about it.

That’s not all, there is court documented proof posted below:
I sent an e-mail to his camp for a statement yesterday, and this morning, and finally at the end of the day, they released a statement on his website of all places. I don’t know what took him so long to respond and I’m going to give Marcus “Pleasure P” Cooper the benefit of the doubt, because there are several Marcus Coopers who could have been named in those court documents. I will apologize if I aided in spreading malicious rumors.
