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.
