LA District Attorney Not Charging Nick Carter In Sexual Abuse Case
Sept. 11 2018, Published 5:53 p.m. ET
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office is not charging Nick Carter with sexual abuse from an alleged 2003 incident, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
“The reporting party alleged that in 2003, she was the victim of a sexual assault perpetrated by the suspect in his apartment,” the filing obtained from Los Angeles County District Attorney read. “The victim was 18 years old at the time of the assault. The statue of limitations expired in 2013.”
The DA’s office concluded of the case, which was reported 10 years later in 2013, “Therefore, an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence is not warranted and the matter is declined.”
RadarOnline.com broke that an underage woman came forward in 2003 claiming the Backstreet Boys singer had sex with her when he was 23 years old.
In the police report obtained from Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Carter, now 37, was accused of sexual offense, lewd or lascivious battery by engaging in sexual activity with a person 12 to 16 years old.
On September 24, 2004, the Assistant State Attorney explained that his office was not going to prosecute the case.
“He explained that due to the delay in the victim reporting the incident, the victim portraying that she was 18 and members of the Carter family believing that she was eighteen years of age,” the report read. “The victim was able to travel far from home with no supervision, with her own money and stay for weeks at a time… for those reasons alone … any reasonable person would believe that she were at least that age.”
The victim herself also stated that the sex was consensual with all persons involved in the case.
In November 2017, "Dream" singer Melissa Schuman accused Cater of raping her when she was 18 years old. She submitted a police report against him of the alleged 2006 assault.
A rep for Carter denied the claims.
RadarOnline.com also broke that Cater was investigated for sexual assault during an alleged incident that took place at his friend’s Key West, Florida home on March 26, 2006 and March 27, 2006.
The victim, who RadarOnline.com chose to not disclose the identity of, claimed Nick allegedly “unbuttoned her jeans, and slid his hand down her jeans and underpants.”
The report obtained from the West Allis Police Department in Wisconsin continued, “The woman indicated Carter briefly inserted his finger tips into her vagina.”
No charges were brought against Carter and the case was closed in June 2006.
Carter has denied all claims against him.
