Nick Carter is facing serious allegations 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 2: of sexual assault from a woman who claims in a 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: recent lawsuit that her encounters with the star resulted in 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: sexually transmitted diseases and ultimately cervical cancer. In documents obtained 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: by People dot Com, Laura Penley asserts that the forty 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: five year old Backstreet Boys star assaulted her when she 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: was around nineteen years old. Carter has categorically denied these 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: claims through a statement by his legal team. According to Pinley, 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: their relationship began around December two thousand and four and 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: continued for about a year, during which they met every 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: few weeks when she traveled to Los Angeles. She asserts 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: that their sexual encounters were consensual at least three times 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: before the incident took a different turn at the star's 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: Hollywood residence. Penley alleges that despite her request for him 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: to always use protection, Carter refused and her to believe 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: he was free of sexually transmitted diseases. She claims that 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: prior to meeting Carter, she had never engaged in unprotected 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: sex with anyone. In two thousand and five, Penley returned 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: to his apartment intending to watch a movie. However, she 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: claims that Carter insisted that her presence was solely for 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: sexual purposes. The lawsuit claims that the assault occurred on 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: his bed in his apartment despite her repeated objections. The 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: lawsuit further claims that Carter neglected to use protection, which 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: would have prevented the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases that 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: she claims he was aware of. Penley states that she 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: was advised to keep the incident confidential, being told by 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: Carter that no one would believe her. She alleges that 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: this encounter led her to being infected with several sexually 30 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: transmitted diseases, including HPV, which is known to cause serious 31 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: health issues, including cervical cancer. By July two thousand and five, 32 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: Penley reportedly tested positive for several sexually transmitted diseases along 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: with cancerous cells. Following a medical examination, in August, she 34 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: was diagnosed with stage two cervical cancer and underwent numerous treatments, 35 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: resulting in significant emotional stress, physical suffering, and medical complications. 36 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: As a result of Carter's quote wilful and conscious disregard 37 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: for her well being. Penley is seeking damages in excess 38 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: of fifteen thousand dollars and is calling for a jury trial. Quote. 39 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: It requires immense bravery and resilience for survivors of sexual 40 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: assault to step forward, said her attorney, Gianni Elliot. She 41 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: is representing Penley from the Marsh Law firm. Carter has 42 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: exploited his power, status and fame to assault and abuse 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: young women. The lawsuit seeks to change that narrative, said 44 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 2: her attorney. Carter has denied all accusations. His attorneys made 45 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: the following statement, This is just more of the same 46 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: nonsense from the gang of conspirators and their lawyers who 47 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: continue to abuse the justice system to try and ruin 48 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: Nick Carter. It's drawn from the same predictable playbook, lie 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: in wait for decades until mister Carter is celebrating a 50 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 2: professional milestone, and then come up with allegations against him. 51 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: War crime and justice news after this. 52 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: How could a beautiful young first grade teacher be stabbed 53 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: twenty times, including in the back, allegedly die of suicide.
