An attorney for Lee Carter, better known as Viper, also said the rapper shares a child with the woman, who accused him of locking her in a garage for years.
A viral Texas rapper is claiming his innocence after being accused of kidnapping a pregnant woman and keeping her locked in his garage.
Lee Carter, 52, better known by the stage name Viper, was charged last week with kidnapping after Houston police found a woman inside his garage who claimed that he had held her there for years, according to a complaint obtained by HuffPost.
George Powell, Carter’s lawyer, told CNN a different story, claiming that the two were in a consensual relationship together and share a 3-year-old child.
Powell told the outlet that witnesses who know the pair “will have ample evidence to demonstrate that … they’ve been in a relationship for years.”
According to the complaint, the woman was rescued in April 2023 after managing to send a message to police dispatch on Carter’s laptop.
