Nick Carter, member of the Backstreet Boys, is facing a fourth lawsuit alleging sexual assault. Filed in Los Angeles by Laura Penly, the suit accuses Carter of two incidents in 2005, when she was 19, and claims he knowingly transmitted multiple sexually transmitted diseases to her.
The legal filing includes accusations of sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Penly claims she met Carter in 2004, and a consensual relationship developed, during which she asked him to use protection. She alleges he refused, stating he was “clean.”
The lawsuit outlines two incidents, both at Carter’s Los Angeles apartment. Penly claims that during a 2005 visit, she expressed that she did not wish to have sex. She alleges Carter ignored her refusal, forcibly assaulted her, and did not use protection. The second alleged assault followed a similar pattern during another visit.
Penly further claims Carter warned her not to speak about the incidents, stating no one would believe her. She says he later contacted her to apologise and asked her to meet again.
Following the alleged assaults, Penly says she was diagnosed with HPV, chlamydia and gonorrhoea, and later cervical cancer. She asserts Carter was the source of the infections, citing her lack of prior unprotected sexual activity.
Carter’s attorneys deny all allegations, describing the claims as unfounded. They stated, “This is just more of the same nonsense,” and argue the plaintiff has a “documented history of financial and legal trouble,” including bankruptcy and fraud lawsuits. Carter maintains he does not recall meeting Penly.
