Barbadian Cultural Ambassador and calypso legend The Most Honourable Anthony ‘Mighty Gabby’ Carter has been formally charged with a sex-related offence and is set to appear in court today (Friday).
Authorities confirmed that the nine-time Pic-O-De-Crop monarch was arrested Thursday night following an investigation by the Sex Crimes Unit at the District “D” Police Station in Cane Garden, St. Thomas. The charge stems from a complaint made last year by the mother of a teenage girl.
On Thursday, a senior police official revealed that Carter had been questioned in connection with the allegations before being taken into custody.
The case has drawn significant public attention due to Carter’s influential role in Barbadian culture. Further developments are expected as the legal process unfolds.
