Nick Carter Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman and Giving Her STDs That Led to Cervical Cancer: Lawsuit

Laura Penly has filed a lawsuit against Nick Carter, claiming the Backstreet Boys singer sexually assaulted her without a condom, leading to STDs and cervical cancer. Carter has denied the allegations in a statement through his lawyers.

Nick Carter has been accused of allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, who claims in a new lawsuit that she contracted STDs that led to cervical cancer. "We hope that Laura receives the justice she rightfully deserves and that this lawsuit serves as a catalyst, empowering other survivors to raise their voices and hold their abusers to account,” Elliot continued. It’s drawn from the same predictable playbook – lie in wait for decades until Mr. Carter is celebrating a professional milestone, then hide behind litigation privilege to make utterly false claims in an attempt to inflict maximum damage on Nick and his family,” his attorneys, Liane K. Wakayama and Dale Hayes, Jr, said in a statement to PEOPLE.
