Nick Carter has claimed he has witnesses who will debunk a woman's claim he sexually assaulted her back in the early 2000s.
The Backstreet Boy, 43, has filed new legal documents claiming to have a dozen witnesses who will swear the alleged victim's charges are 'factually impossible,' according to TMZ.
Shannon Ruth filed suit December 2, 2022, for $30,000 in damages, accusing the Larger Than Life singer of taking her to his bus, plying her with alcohol, forcing her to perform oral sex and then raping her. The alleged incident occurred in 2001, when she was 17 and underaged.
Ruth also claims she contracted sexual transmitted infection, Human papillomavirus infection (HPV) from the alleged assault, having been a virgin beforehand.
The woman claimed she met Nick while standing in line to get autographs.
