Overview

• Laura Penly has filed a lawsuit in Nevada alleging Nick Carter sexually assaulted her on two occasions in 2005, despite her repeated refusals.
• Penly claims Carter infected her with multiple sexually transmitted diseases, including HPV, which she says led to a cervical cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments.
• Carter's legal team denies the allegations, stating he does not recall meeting Penly and dismissing her claims as part of a broader pattern of false accusations.
• This is the fourth lawsuit against Carter, joining previous allegations from Melissa Schuman, Shannon Ruth, and Ashley Repp, with trials scheduled in Nevada and California in 2026.
• Penly is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, citing severe emotional distress, medical issues, and trauma linked to the alleged assaults.
