Nick Carter has been accused by a fourth woman of s*xual assault in a civil complaint filed last week in Nevada. Plaintiff Laura Penly has accused the Backstreet Boys performer of knowingly giving her sexually transmitted diseases that later led to cervical cancer. The singer, 45, has vehemently denied the allegations in a statement released by his lawyers.
In the 10-page lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone, Penly claimed that the assaults took place in 2005 on two different occasions when she travelled from Oregon to Los Angeles to meet Carter at his Hollywood apartment. Penly stated that she initially engaged in consensual intercourse with Carter on three occasions. However, she alleged that things took a violent turn during a subsequent visit.

She alleged that he threw her onto the bed, bent her over, and forcefully had intercourse with her against her wish. She further stated that he didn't wear a condom during the alleged assault.
