Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys faces lawsuit alleging sexual assault, transmission of STD in 2005
Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter has been accused of sexual assault and knowingly transmitting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in a lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges the incidents occurred in 2005, when she was 19 years old.
According to People, the woman claimed she had a consensual relationship with Carter that turned non-consensual. The lawsuit alleges that during a visit to Carter’s apartment to watch a movie, the singer ‘insisted on having sex’. When the complainant refused and asked him to use protection, Carter allegedly ignored her objections, assured her he was "clean of STDs," and forced himself on her without a condom.
The woman claimed that Carter assaulted her multiple times during the encounter, and that she did not speak out at the time out of fear of not being believed. She stated that she returned to meet Carter a few days later after he apologised, but he allegedly assaulted her again.
In her complaint, the woman said Carter transmitted multiple STDs, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which later led to her diagnosis of Stage 2 cervical cancer.
The lawsuit outlines that she underwent extensive treatment and procedures, resulting in physical, emotional, and financial hardship. This is the fourth sexual assault complaint against Carter, who has denied the allegations.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
