Gem from Houston kidnapper/"local rapper" Viper's YT channel....in fact, the entire channel is quite interesting considering the woman was held hostage in his home while he filmed most of his videos:
Kidnapped woman held captive in Texas rapper’s garage for five years, police say
The woman told police at the time that Mr Carter had abducted her four or five years ago after he approached her on the street, while she had been pregnant and where she was panhandling, and offered her one dollar.
He then promised to help her before driving her back to his home where he instead locked her up in his garage where she was forced to take drugs, have sex with him and rarely got a proper meal or shower, according to the complaint.
It is not clear what happened with the woman’s pregnancy or whether she gave birth. There was no mention of a child in the court documents.
After the April incident, police, who confirmed receiving eight calls to the house in the past year, took her to the hospital but Mr Carter picked her up and took her back home.
“It makes me sick as a human being,” Houston Police Department Commander Michael Collins told KTRK when Mr Carter was arrested.
“And I can tell you, as a police department, we are here for the citizens of Houston. We are here for the community, and we are here to make sure that this individual and her family gets justice.”
Officials have not given a reason for the nine-month gap between the April incident and the arrest, local station KHOU reported.
Mr Carter has performed as a rapper under the name “Viper” and his 2008 song “You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack” has garnered over 4 million views on YouTube.
He is also a real estate broker, according to corporate records and the Texas Real Estate Commission, who owns and operates a moving company in Houston, which is registered to the address where he allegedly held the woman.
“It’s just a creepy situation. We have no idea what’s really going on,” a neighbour told the local news outlets. “You can’t write this stuff. It’s strange to see with your own eyes.”
