A Labour councillor who was caught “covered in lipstick” in an illegal sex den has become the leader of his local authority.
Cllr Brent Carter, the new leader of Merthyr Tydfil Borough council in south Wales, was caught at a backstreet brothel in 2015 during a police raid.
He became the leader of the Labour-run authority on Wednesday after a group of independent councillors lost their majority following a by-election defeat.
Cllr Carter, 52, had only been inside the brothel for a few minutes in May 2015 when police officers raided the address in Merthyr Tydfil’s Regent Street.
Details of the incident emerged in September 2017 when Leon Hall, the pimp running the illegal sex den, was tried in court.
Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates Court heard that Cllr Carter – who was a Labour councillor at the time – was found “covered in lipstick” inside the property.
Police also discovered packets of condoms and lubricating gel on the floor.
Residents on the street had previously complained that the round-the-clock activity at the terraced house had been a nuisance for a year and was causing “distress”.
I don’t approve of paying for sex morally but this is a non story….
Elected official once went to a brothel a decade ago SHOCKER. Torygraph really is in the pits thesedays isn’t it
Another 5 years of this bs.
Anyone else remember when David Cameron fucked a pig?
Are the telegraph outraged that a man was potentially wearing lipstick?
Man of the people, for the people. Investing in his local community and services. Wearing lipstick as well, what a modern man. Surely this is what we want from our politicians.
>Cllr Carter, 52, had only been inside the brothel for a **few minutes** in May 2015 when police officers raided the address in Merthyr Tydfil’s Regent Street.
I admire this mans efficiency to get things done quickly. Bro went in for the kissing carwash
