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.

Sexual Health check-ups are important if you want to live a long and healthy life. It is the only way to quickly and accurately detect problems so that you can treat them early. If you are sexually active, you are expected to undergo regular sexual health check-ups because of STIs. You are especially at great risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) if you don’t use protection. These infections and diseases can have grave implications for the body, particularly when they stay too long without being detected and treated.
When Should You Get Tested?
You should get tested for STIs or STDs annually to prevent sudden and late diagnosis. Ask for a test if you think you have been exposed because of a cheating partner or have multiple sex partners. You should also get tested if you are entering into a new relationship or have unprotected sex. Additionally, if you see symptoms that suggest you have an STI or STD, you have to get tested immediately. Finally, if you test for STIs before your relationship, you may have an undiagnosed STI and need to be tested.
Getting a Sexual Health Check-up
Your doctor will need to ask you some personal questions to determine the tests to be done. These can include questions about your sexual history, general health, partners, type of sex, and contraceptive use. Common tests include syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV, hepatitis B, trichomoniasis, and chlamydia. These tests are determined by your answers to the doctor’s questions.
Why You Shouldn’t Skip Your Sexual Health Check-up
Early Detection
The earlier an STI or STD is detected, the better your chances of recovery. Regular sexual health check-ups can help detect infections and diseases without symptoms. This way, you can get treatment early and not spread the STI or STD around.
Good Physical and Reproductive Health
STIs can affect the reproductive health of women even when they present without symptoms in men. For example, chlamydia and gonorrhea damage the fallopian tubes and can cause pelvic inflammatory disorder (PID) if left untreated. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can also cause cervical cancer, which can cause several other problems in the body.
Peace
Knowing the state of your sexual health will also foster peace. You won’t be worried about whether you are infected or not. You also won’t be worried about infecting your partner, which will improve your relationship.
Reduced Risk of Spreading STIs and STDs
Going for regular sexual health check-ups will help you detect if you have STIs or STDs even when there are no symptoms. Thus, you will greatly reduce the risk of transmitting infections to your partner and casual sex partners.
Preventing Serious Complications
STIs and STDs can cause other serious health problems besides reproductive health problems, such as cancer and infertility. They can also cause ectopic pregnancies, discomfort during urination, pain, and other discomfort that can last for a long time, even after being healed. Moreover, untreated STIs and STDs, such as cancer and HIV, can also cause death after some time.
If you want to live a healthy life, you must never skip your sexual health check-ups. Not only will you be safeguarding your health, but you will also protect other people from getting infected.

A French man was busted for allegedly drugging his wife and inviting nearly 51 men to rape her while she was unconscious for over a 10-year period, NY Post reported. Police say he recorded each assault on his hidden camera.
The husband has been identified as Dominique P, reports reveal. According to a court filing obtained by local French outlet La Monde, Dominique had been mixing his wife’s dinner with an anti-anxiety drug called Lorazepam since 2011. The drug, unbeknownst to her, would cause her extreme fatigue and absent-mindedness.
In 2020, authorities discovered disturbing videos of the helpless woman after Dominique was busted trying to snap a video of another woman in a changing room with the same camera. Police say the videos were saved to a USB under a file named
“ABUSES.”
A total of 51 men, between the ages of 26 and 73, were caught on video assaulting the victim. They have all been charged with rape, reports reveal. It is unclear what charges the husband is facing for his alleged role.
The couple had been married for 50 years and share three adult children. Dominique told police that his wife is a
“saint”
and
“the love of his life.”
According to prosecutors, the woman broke down in tears when she was told the news. She was given medical tests that revealed she was suffering from four different sexually transmitted diseases. She has since filed for divorce.
