Backstreet Boy Nick Carter Sued Over Decades-Old Rape Allegations; Accusers Allege Career Sabotage

Melissa Schuman alleges Nick Carter raped her when she was 18 and interfered in her solo career.
Another accuser, Shannon Ruth, filed a sexual battery lawsuit against Carter in Nevada.
Carter denied all allegations and accused the women of plotting to damage him and extort money.
A California law temporarily lifting the statute of limitations allowed Schuman to file a civil lawsuit.
Prosecutors previously declined to press charges due to the statute of limitations.
