According to TMZ, Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys is facing serious allegations from a woman named Laura Penly, who says he sexually assaulted her multiple times and gave her STDs—including HPV, which she claims later caused cervical cancer.

According to court documents, Penly says she met Carter back in 2004 when she was 19. They had a brief fling, and she says she asked him to use protection—but he allegedly refused and promised he was clean. She says this was her first time having unprotected sex.

Penly claims Carter assaulted her twice—once in early 2005 and again during a trip to L.A.—both times allegedly ignoring her saying “no” and refusing to wear a condom. She says he also warned her to stay quiet.

Afterward, Penly says she tested positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV. That HPV diagnosis, she says, turned into cervical cancer and forced her to have surgery. She’s now suing Carter for sexual assault and emotional trauma, saying these events have caused long-term damage to her mental health and relationships.

Carter’s lawyers are calling the whole thing a lie. They say this is just another attempt to take him down, claiming Penly is working with others who’ve tried to smear his name before. His team also says Carter doesn’t even remember meeting her and points to her past financial and legal issues to discredit her story.
