Machel Montano has apologised to the assault victims involved in the fracas outside a nightclub in Port of Spain in April 2007.
Finally freed from the burden of competition, Montano was last weekend able to take his mind away from the stage and Carnival 2013.
The double Soca Monarch winner was found guilty on four charges of assault against Gerard Bowrin, Brandis Browne, Janelle Lee Chee and Russell Pollonais on December 10 last year.
He was also found guilty of using obscene language during the incident which took place outside the Zen nightclub, Keate Street.
Montano, along with songwriter Kernal Roberts, the son of calypso icon Lord Kitchener; Joel “Zan” Feveck, a member of Montano HD Family; and Rodney “Benjai” LeBlanc were all charged with a series of criminal offences arising out of a fracas outside the nightclub.
Roberts was also found guilty on two charges of assault while Benjai and Feveck were found not guilty.
Montano will be sentenced on the five charges on February 25.
