Soca superstar Machel Montano will this morning re-appear before a Port-of Spain magistrate who is expected to pass sentence, having found him guilty last month, on five charges.
On December 10 last year, Magistrate Maureen Baboolal-Gafoor found Montano, the reigning International Power Soca and Groovy Monarch and Road March king, guilty of the offences.
Four of the charges were for assaulting patrons Gerard Bowrin, Brandis Browne, Janelle Lee Chee, and Russell Pollonais. The fifth charge is for using obscene language.
Kernel Roberts, the son of legendary Calypso icon Lord Kitchener, Joel “Zan” Feveck, a member of Montano’s HD Family, and Rodney “Benjai” Le Blancwere also charged with offences, arising out of the same incident which stemmed from a fracas outside the Zen nightclub, in Port-of-Spain, in April, 2007.
The charges against Montano carry a jail term of up to five years in prison.
