Border Patrol spokesman Ramiro Cordero confirmed the arrest of
Kalimba Thursday. He offered no further details on the case. A judge in
Mexico's Caribbean state of Quintana Roo had issued an arrest warrant against
the singer.
Prosecutors allege Kalimba raped a 17-year-old girl at a hotel in
the state capital of Chetumal on Dec. 19. Kalimba has denied the accusations in
a case that has received front-page coverage in Mexican newspapers.
The
singer's full name is Kalimba Kadjaly Marichal Ibar. He is 28. He formerly
performed with the group OV7. State Attorney General Francisco Alor says the
warrant was issued Wednesday.
