Singer Melissa Schuman is suing Nick Carter five years after she made a public accusation of sexual assault against him, which he has consistently denied.
In 2003, when she was 18 and he was 22, Backstreet Boy, now 43, reportedly forced oral sex on Schuman, 38, and then allegedly forced her to reciprocate. She alleges that he afterwards stole her virginity.

The D.A.’s office declined to prosecute and file charges despite the singer’s police report against Carter because the statute of limitations for the claimed incident passed in 2013. Schuman now thinks her case will be revived by a new measure that modifies the civil action statute of limitations.
The actress is therefore re-filing the case in court in the hopes that it would be successful this time. Carter filed a $2.3 million lawsuit against Schuman earlier this year and has since refuted the claims. Schuman has been attempting to extort money from him for years, according to his lawsuit. In a statement to TMZ, Liane K. Wakayama, Carter’s attorney, alleged that Schuman had been preparing a scheme to harm and discredit his client.

Dream band
Melissa Schuman was signed by singer P.Diddy’s Bad Boy/Universal Records. He signed three other singers who then went on to become platinum girl group Dream.
Dream’s debut single, He Loves U Not, produced by Steve Kipner and ex-System member David Frank (who also produced Christina Aguliera’s Genie In A Bottle), was certified RIAA gold for sales in excess of 500,000 copies in the United States. He Loves U Not, the country’s No. 1 Soundscan single (designated Billboard’s Sales Mover three weeks in a row), jumped from No. 5 to No. 2 on the Hot 100. Soon after, Dream’s debut album It Was All A Dream was certified RIAA Double Platinum.
They were branded ‘Girl Power’s Next Wave’ (Teen Magazine), ‘Bad Girls’ (VIBE), and ‘Puffy’s Dream Team’ (in the New York Daily News and Teen People). Melissa performed at the popular Wango Tango performance, staged by KIIS FM (102.7), alongside her Dream bandmates. In addition to being published in publications like Harper’s Bazzar, Teen, YM, CosmoGirl, TeenStyle, and many more, she traveled across the United States and Canada with bands like NSYNC.
The Hollow movie
Schuman starred in The Hollow in 2004 after leaving leaving Dream to focus on her acting career. The story centers on Ian Cranston, a high school student who recently learned that he is an Ichabod Crane ancestor. Schuman played the character of Amber in the film.
In 2004, she collaborated on the song There for Me with Nick Carter, a co-star on The Hollow whom she went on to accuse of sexual assault. In 2003, when she was 18 and he was 22, Carter reportedly forced oral sex on Schuman, 38, and then allegedly forced her to reciprocate. She alleges that he afterwards stole her virginity.
