The lates in a string of unsavory charges, Nick Carter has been accused of sexual assault by a third (as yet unnamed) woman who claims to have been assaulted by the Backstreet Boy when she was just 15 years old and he was 23.
Identified only by her the initials, on Monday (8.28) AR, filed the the complaint in Las Vegas, stating that she was 1. sexually assaulted by the musician on multiple occasions in 2003, 2. that Carter, now 43, “knowingly provided alcohol and drugs” during the time of the alleged incidents “despite her repeated refusals and requests for him to stop,” and 3. that the performer gave her the sexually transmitted infection HPV and caused “severe emotional distress, physical anguish, intimacy issues, and other complex trauma.”
Seeking $15,000 in damages, the legal documents obtained by Us Weekly state “The impacts of Carter’s sexual abuse are ceaseless, causing plaintiff severe emotional distress, physical anguish, intimacy issues, and other complex trauma.”
It has also been claimed that the plaintiff’s mother had reported the assaults to Pennsylvania law enforcement, however, the singer never faced charges.
At press time, Nick Carter has denied the allegations, with his lawyer Dale Hayes Jr. labelling them as “ridiculous” and “malicious” in a statement to the Los Angeles Times, and the performer is currently facing two other lawsuits from Shannon “Shay” Ruth and singer Melissa Schuman.
