Rape allegation against Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter now under review by Los Angeles County prosecutors
The complaint against Carter was made by actress Melissa Schuman close to seven months ago, and the case is now finally under review.
A rape allegation made against Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter by actress Melissa Schuman is now reportedly under review by the Los Angeles County District Attorney. Schuman, best known for her role in all-girl teen band Dream, came forward with the accusation last November, claiming that she was raped by Carter almost two decades ago, when she was just 18 years old. According to New York Daily News, the Santa Monica Police Department submitted the case for possible charges on July 31. Department spokesman Greg Risling said that the case was now being reviewed by the Hollywood sex assault task force that was set up by District Attorney Jackie Lacey in the wake of last October's Harvey Weinstein scandal.
