AN Australian music producer, Peter Carlson, has been charged with allegedly recruiting five Zambian girls with the intention of taking them to Australia to become prostitutes. Carlson, who was arrested on the weekend together with a Zambian driver, Misheck Banda, denied the allegations on Monday. Each was granted bail of 6-million kwachas ($2000). Carlson was further ordered to surrender his passport to the court and to report to the Zambia police every fortnight. The date for the next hearing is yet to be set.
