Nick Carter Sued by Fourth Woman Alleging Sexual Assault

Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter has been sued by a fourth accuser alleging sexual assault

The civil complaint, filed last week in Nevada, alleges the abuse took place when the woman, Laura Penly, would travel from Oregon to visit Carter in Los Angeles while she was 19 and he was 25. Penly’s legal action is the latest in a series of lawsuits filed against Carter from three other women including former Dream singer Melissa Schuman. In her lawsuit, Penly claims Carter also infected her with multiple sexually transmitted diseases, including the human papillomavirus, which she says led to a subsequent Stage 2 cervical cancer diagnosis in August 2005.
