LOS ANGELES — Melissa Schuman has moved to sue Nick Carter for alleged sexual assault and battery five years after Los Angeles County prosecutors declined to file charges against the Backstreet Boys singer.
Schuman, a former member of the 2000s girl group Dream, submitted a lawsuit Tuesday accusing Carter of sexually assaulting her in 2002 in Santa Monica when he was 22 and she was 18, according to court documents reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
In the complaint, Schuman alleges that Carter drugged her and raped her after she told him "over and over" that she didn't want to have sex until marriage. She also claims that Carter performed oral sex on her "against her will" and "demanded" she perform oral sex on him after she refused to do so.
