Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter Faces Fourth Sexual-Assault Allegation
Briefly

Laura Penley has sued Nick Carter, alleging he sexually assaulted her during two separate visits in 2005, after she indicated she didn't want to engage in sexual activity. Despite claims of consent previously, the situation escalated to rape, according to Penley. She states the trauma led to significant medical issues, including contracting HPV and a subsequent diagnosis of stage-two cervical cancer. Carter's legal representatives have denied the allegations, claiming he does not recall meeting her and describing her health issues as unrelated to him. This lawsuit follows other sexual assault allegations against Carter.
'The only reason you’re here is to have sex,' she quotes him as saying before he assaulted her.
Carter’s legal team maintains that he 'does not recall even meeting' Laura Penley and emphasized the absence of any romantic or sexual relationship.
Penley alleges that after being raped, she contracted HPV, leading to a diagnosis of stage-two cervical cancer later in 2005.
The lawsuit claims the assaults resulted in 'severe emotional distress, physical anguish, medical issues, intimacy issues, and other complex trauma.'
