A Houston rapper allegedly kidnapped a homeless woman and held her captive in his garage for at least four years before she managed to get access to the suspect's computer to call rescuers, officials said.

The woman allegedly held by Lee Carter, 52, was found in April but the arrest on a charge of felony aggravated kidnapping only happened on Thursday, court records and Carter?s attorney said.

Records do not explain why it took authorities nearly nine months to arrest the suspect. The condition of the woman, who prosecutors say was 70 pounds and pregnant when authorities located her, was unclear Monday.

A Harris County District Attorney?s Office affidavit supporting the suspect?s arrest states the woman used Carter's laptop to "communicate with 9-1-1 dispatch that she was being held against her will." Details about how she got the laptop were not released.

A Houston Fire Department crew came to Carter's Perry Street home on April 7 and pried open the garage's door to a find woman locked inside, living in putrid conditions, prosecutors said.

That room included "a makeshift toilet that did not flush," a mattress "covered in fresh vomit" and a few packages of chips and Twinkies, the affidavit said.

The garage "appeared to be a single car garage but no longer had the garage door to allow a vehicle to enter" and both of its windows had been boarded up, the affidavit said.

The 5-foot-2, 70-pound woman was found malnourished "with a pungent stench," "crusty" hair and wearing a T-shirt and shorts that "were filthy dirty," according to prosecutors.

Because she's a homeless person and they treat them as less than human. THAT'S why.

that poor woman, being locked into a garage for 4 years, being treated poorly and suffering who knows what abuse, then to be pregnant as well as weighing only 70 lbs. She must be just destroyed mentally and the baby (if born)..

It also says she was pregnant when he took her in, so either she gave birth to that baby in the garage or it died while she was kept in there.
