Nick Carter, the well-known member of the Backstreet Boys, is currently facing serious legal challenges as he is being sued by a woman who alleges that he committed sexual assault against her and transmitted multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Despite these allegations, Carter firmly asserts that the claims made against him are completely unfounded and false.

The individual bringing forth the lawsuit is named Laura Penly, who has accused Nick of having sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions during their interactions. This case highlights serious allegations that have raised questions about the behavior of high-profile celebrities and the implications of such accusations.

According to the lawsuit, which was obtained and reported by TMZ, Penly claims that her first encounter with Nick occurred in 2004 when she was just 19 years old. She alleges that they engaged in a brief sexual relationship, meeting at a Los Angeles condominium for casual encounters. Penly states that during their interactions, she requested that he wear a condom, to which he allegedly refused, claiming that he was “clear” of any STDs.

Penly asserts that prior to meeting Nick, she had never engaged in unprotected sex. She recounts an incident in early 2005 when she visited Nick and made it clear that she did not want to engage in sexual activity. However, she alleges that Nick responded by insisting that the only reason for her presence was to have sex with him, showcasing troubling behavior that is often associated with coercive tactics.

Penly then claims that Nick forcefully picked her up, threw her onto his bed, and proceeded to sexually assault her by penetrating her despite her explicit objections. She states that during this alleged incident, he did not use a condom, which she believes significantly increased her risk of contracting STIs and highlights the severity of the assault.

Following the alleged assault, Penly claims that Nick instructed her to keep the incident a secret, suggesting that no one would believe her if she spoke out. She also states that a few months later, Nick reached out to her, apologizing and expressing a desire to see her again, which adds complexity to the emotional aftermath of the alleged events.

Penly alleges that during another visit to Nick’s residence in Los Angeles, he again led her into his bedroom where, despite her stated reluctance, he proceeded to engage in non-consensual sexual activity with her. She contends that this pattern of behavior demonstrates a blatant disregard for her autonomy and consent.

The allegations include severe claims that Nick transmitted various STIs to her, including human papillomavirus (HPV). Penly reports that she tested positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea, and she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer, which she attributes to the HPV infection, underscoring the potential long-term health consequences associated with such alleged actions.

Penly describes the significant toll that these alleged sexual assaults have taken on her life, leading to the necessity for cancer treatment, including surgeries. She further claims that the emotional and psychological impacts of the assaults have resulted in severe emotional distress, physical pain, and ongoing issues with intimacy, illustrating the far-reaching effects of such traumatic experiences.

In her lawsuit, Penly is pursuing claims against Nick for sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress, seeking damages for the profound impact these alleged events have had on her life.

Liane Ok. Wakayama and Dale Hayes Jr., the legal representatives for Nick, have stated to TMZ that the lawsuit is simply a continuation of what they describe as “nonsense” from a group of individuals they believe are attempting to exploit the legal system to damage Nick’s reputation. They argue that these claims are baseless and part of a calculated plan to inflict maximum harm on him and his family during a time of professional celebration.
