A LABOUR council leader was once caught covered in lipstick at a brothel.

When Brent Carter, 52, was found by police there was also a packet of condoms on the floor and lubricating gel.

But the politician avoided prosecution and held on to his seat for Labour in the 2022 local elections.

He was made leader of Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council on Wednesday night.

But some residents have criticised his appointment.

Simon Ryan, 57, said: “How will people respect the town when its leader has acted in this way?

“He was caught red-handed in a brothel — people can’t have faith in a man like that. It’s highly embarrassing for him and for Merthyr Tydfil.”

Police raided the brothel in Merthyr Tydfil in 2015.

The town’s magistrates heard Mr Carter was in the property at the time.

He avoided criminal charges but was reported to the Public ­Services Ombudsman — which later ruled there was no evidence he had brought his office or authority into disrepute.

Mr Carter said: “I have learned from my past experiences and have worked hard to grow and evolve as a person.

“I am more than willing to address any concerns or misconceptions about my past.”
