An attorney for Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has responded to allegations of sexual assault featured in a new Investigation Discovery docuseries about the singer and his late brother, Aaron Carter.
In “Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter,” three women – Ashley Repp, Melissa Schuman Henschel and Shannon “Shay” Ruth – describe alleged assaults in 2001 and 2003 that they have previously sued Nick Carter over.
Aaron Carter died in 2022 at age 34.
When asked to comment on the documentary ahead of its airing, which is airing in two parts on Monday and Tuesday, Dale Hayes Jr., Nick Carter’s attorney, told CNN in a statement: “These are exactly the same outrageous claims that led us to sue this gang of conspirators.”
The women filed three separate complaints from December 2022 to August 2023. Carter filed two counterclaims in 2023 and 2024, the first against Henschel and Ruth and the second against Repp.
“Those cases are working their way through the legal system now, and, based on both the initial court rulings and the overwhelming evidence, we have every belief that we will prevail and hold them accountable for spreading these falsehoods,” the statement from Nick Carter’s lawyer added.
