New warrant details how Houston rapper allegedly held pregnant woman hostage for years

A Houston rapper who’s accused of holding a woman captive for years is back in jail for allegedly violating his bond conditions.

The allegations of kidnapping and sexual assault against 52-year-old Lee Carter, who goes by the stage name “Viper,” first surfaced last month.

Carter is accused of picking up a 32-year-old pregnant woman while she was panhandling in south Houston and then bringing her to his house.

The woman told police Carter locked her up, raped her, and forced her to take drugs, including crack cocaine, for four to five years.

According to new court documents, the victim asked to go to the hospital while being held in captivity, but Carter refused.
