Nick Carter accused of raping autistic fan in new lawsuit
Nick Carter has been accused of raping an underage autistic fan in a new lawsuit. Carter has denied the allegations.
Shannon “Shay” Ruth, now 39 years old, has sued Carter, alleging sexual assault. During a press conference held with her lawyers in a Facebook livestream, she alleged that the Backstreet Boys member raped her in 2001 when she was 17 years old.
“The last 21 years have been filled with pain, confusion, frustration, shame and self-harm that are a direct result of Nick Carter raping me,” the woman claimed during the press conference.
“Even though I’m autistic and live with cerebral palsy, I believe that nothing has affected me more or had a more lasting impact on my life than what Nick Carter did and said to me.
“After he raped me, I remember him calling me a ‘retarded b—-‘ and grabbing me and leaving bruises on my arm.”
The woman’s attorney, Mark J. Boskovich, noted there are three other women whose accusations are included in the lawsuit against Carter.
“Nick Carter has a long history of abusing women,” Boskovich said. “Shay is determined to bring Carter to justice. She believes it’s worth it to protect other women.” – Source
