legal action<\/a> against Carter in August. Now an adult, the woman said the alleged sexual assaults took place in 2003.<\/p>\nPolice chose not to investigate Carter for the alleged sex incident because A.R. said she was 18 at the time, according to the filings from Carter.<\/p>\n
A.R.\u2019s lawsuit tells a different story of the events — that Carter \u201cknowingly provided alcohol and drugs to then-minor A.R. on this occasion and caused her to become intoxicated on his yacht.\u201d<\/p>\n
There were also charges Carter gave the girl human papillomavirus (HPV.) Carter denies the claims.<\/p>\n
Second Victim Sues<\/h2>\n In December 2022, another lawsuit was filed by Shannon \u201cShay\u201d Ruth, claiming Carter also provided her with alcohol and sexually assaulted her when she was 17. She also claimed he warned her not to inform anyone about the incident, according to KLAS<\/em>.<\/p>\nCarter says he believes he never \u201ceven met Ruth,\u201d and he\u2019s \u201ccertain that he was never alone on his tour bus with Ruth, did not have sex with Ruth, did not grab her arm, and did not sexually assault or bully her,\u201d <\/strong>according to court filings.<\/p>\nIn a 2003 incident involving a third woman, Carter allegedly sexually assaulted Dream singer Melissa Schuman. Carter said the sex was consensual.<\/p>\n
Alleged Victims Are Opportunists<\/h2>\n Carter\u2019s attorneys have responded to the allegations by claiming the women are \u201copportunists\u201d who \u201cset out to thrust themselves into the spotlight and destroy innocent lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the allegations, his attorneys claim that Carter and the Backstreet Boys lost $2.3M or more. That\u2019s due to promotional events, endorsements, and a planned TV show canceled because of the negative publicity, KLAS reported, citing court documents.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile single, Carter reportedly dated celebrities such as Debra Lafave, Willa Ford, and Paris Hilton<\/a>, according to Wikipedia.
