Nick Carter Sued For Sexual Battery, Alleged Incident During 2001 BSB Tour

Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter is being demanded sexual battery, after a supposed event with a small back in 2001 … an event our Carter sources state is absolutely incorrect.

According to legal docs, gotten by TMZ, Shannon Ruth — who states she was 17 at the time of the supposed attack — was welcomed by Carter to his trip bus after a Backstreet Boys show in Tacoma, WA while waiting in the sign line.

The docs state Ruth, who has autism and spastic paralysis, was asked if she desired a beverage … she requested apple juice, and Carter supposedly informed her he had cranberry — providing her a “red-colored drink.”

Ruth states the beverage tasted off, and Carter called it “VIP juice” … however consumed it to not be impolite. She now thinks it was a mix of alcohol and cranberry juice.

According to the docs, Carter then brought her to the bus’ restroom, and purchased her to carry out foreplay on him … Ruth declares she was weeping throughout the experience, however he kept advising her.

She then states Carter took her to a bed on the bus and continued to sexually attack her … and after the event, she supposedly stated she’d inform individuals about what he did, however he threatened to turn others versus her — calling her a “r******* little bitch” that nobody would think.

The docs state Ruth, who declares she was a virgin prior to the supposed attack, had actually contracted HPV later … and she’s now looking for damages.

A source near Nick informs us, “This accusation is categorically false, Nick is focusing on his family and mourning the death of his brother.”
