Nick Carter accused of sexually assaulting woman

Singer-songwriter Nick Carter is facing charges of allegedly sexually assaulting a woman. The woman also claimed in a new lawsuit that she contracted STDs that led to cervical cancer.
In her lawsuit, Laura Penly alleged that the Backstreet Boys performer, 45, sexually assaulted her in approximately 2004 when she was around 19 years old, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Carter denied the allegations in a statement released by his lawyers. Penly alleges that their interactions with one another took place around December 2004 to February 2005 for a “sexually intimate relationship and (they) would see each other approximately every few weeks” when she visited Los Angeles.
As per ‘People’, Penly claimed the sex was consensual at least three times before things allegedly took a turn while at his Hollywood apartment. Though she claims to have asked him to wear a condom, the plaintiff alleged Carter “refused,” instead leading her to think “he was ‘clean’ of sexually transmittable diseases”.
According to the lawsuit, Penly alleged that prior to her interactions with Carter, she never had unprotected sex with anyone. She alleged that in early 2005, she’d gone to his apartment once again, but only with the hope of watching movies with the singer. The lawsuit alleges Carter “told her no because the only reason she was there was to have sex”. (IANS)
