Overview

• Laura Penly has filed a lawsuit in Nevada, alleging Nick Carter sexually assaulted her twice in 2005 after an initially consensual relationship.
• Penly claims Carter refused to use protection during the assaults, leading to her contracting multiple STDs, including HPV, which she says caused her cervical cancer diagnosis.
• This marks the fourth sexual assault lawsuit against Carter, following previous accusations by Shannon Ruth, Melissa Schuman, and Ashley Repp.
• Carter’s legal team has denied the allegations, stating he does not recall meeting Penly and accusing her of financial and legal troubles.
• Penly is seeking over $15,000 in damages, adding to the ongoing legal battles Carter faces, with trials for other cases scheduled in late 2025 and early 2026.
