Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has been sued for sexual assault and sexual battery by Melissa Schuman, a former member of the pop group Dream. Schuman first made these allegations on her blog in 2017 and filed a police report the following year. The lawsuit is now being filed after a recent bill amended the statute of limitations for civil actions. The lawsuit alleges that Carter, now 43, raped Schuman, now 38, when she was 18 and he was 22, and states that Carter used his status and platform as an "international multiplatinum recording pop star" to "groom, manipulate, exploit, and sexually assault" her. It's the second suit filed against Carter in the last six months another woman, Shannon "Shay" Ruth, also alleged that Carter assaulted her on the Backstreet Boys' tour bus during the band's 2001 'Black & Blue' tour when she was 17. Carter's attorney Liane K. Wakayama said in a statement that her client denies the allegation
