Bill Carter is the ex-husband of Ann Carter, whose case was handled by the husband-and-wife team of divorce lawyers Fred and Lizzy Bellamy. As the Carters held captive a Haitian child named Isabel to turn into a child slave, Ann confided that with the Bellamys to use as blackmail for the divorce to go in her favor. The Bellamys still reported the Carters to send Isabel back to Haiti.
When the Bellamys were killed in their home, the Carters were suspects, as Ann’s favorability in the divorce led the law and justice system suspecting sexual abuse. When the ring came to light, the operators, Miriam and Eric Johnson, were arrested with all the accomplices, including the Carters.
Bill and Ann were found guilty of child trafficking and abuse and were imprisoned. (L&O: "Chattel")
