""It takes profound courage and resilience for survivors of sexual assault to publicly come forward in pursuit of justice, particularly in the music industry that has long fostered a pervasive environment of sexual exploitation.""
""A legal representative for Carter did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment Wednesday but denied Penly's allegations in a statement shared with several outlets.""
Nick Carter, a member of the Backstreet Boys, is under growing scrutiny as a fourth woman, Lauren Penly, has come forward with allegations of rape. She claims he raped her twice in 2005 and infected her with STDs, leading to a cervical cancer diagnosis. Penly is suing Carter for sexual assault and emotional distress, seeking $15,000 in damages and requesting a jury trial. Carter's legal team denies the allegations, stating he does not recall meeting Penly during the brief relationship.
