On August 28, a woman identified in court papers as A.R. filed a lawsuit against Nick Carter alleging that the Backstreet Boys singer had sexually abused her multiple times starting when she was 15. A.R.’s civil case, filed in Las Vegas court, marks the third lawsuit against Carter alleging sexual abuse or assault. In April 2023, actor and Dream singer Melissa Schuman sued Carter accusing him of sexual assault in harassment. This case was preceded by Shannon “Shay” Ruth’s lawsuit in December 2022 accusing Carter of forced sex when she was 17.
As the chorus of allegations against Carter grows louder, he has continued to deny accusations of wrongdoing — and framed the accusers as colluding against him. Following A.R.’s complaint, one of Carter’s attorneys, Dale Hayes Jr., told the Daily Mail: “Nick is looking forward to the evidence being presented and the truth about these malicious schemes coming to light.” Adding to the legal drama: Carter has sued Ruth and Schuman alleging conspiracy. “Since November 2017, Carter has become the target of a small opportunistic group of conspirators engaged in a harassing, defamatory and otherwise tortious campaign to ruin his reputation for the purpose of advancing their own agendas,” Carter’s counter-claim alleges. “The effect of this group’s unlawful conduct and continued harassment has taken an immense toll on Carter, his family, and his band, both emotionally and financially.”
