Nick Carter moved for a summary judgment in his legal battle with one of his sexual assault accusers. The Backstreet Boys star claimed her allegations are a 'factual impossibility.'

Nick Carter asked a court to rule in his favor before a sexual assault lawsuit heads to trial. Carter, 44, claimed Shannon Ruth's rape allegations are 'factually impossible' and asked the court to end the litigation in documents filed May 7 and obtained by Fox News Digital. The Backstreet Boys star insisted his accuser has not been able to produce 'a single shred of evidence' to show her claims against Carter are true, according to the court documents.

Ruth also alleges that she developed genital warts as a result of the alleged assault, and that she showed said warts to Eleanor and Eleanor’s mother who thereafter took her to a medical clinic to be examined. Eleanor was clear in her testimony that this never happened,' the documents added. 'As such, the only ‘evidence’ presented by Ruth to show any alleged harm between February 2001 and May 2020 is Ruth’s self-serving and contradicted testimony.

Ruth filed her lawsuit in 2022. During a press conference held with her lawyers in a Facebook livestream, she alleged the Backstreet Boys member raped her in 2001 when she was 17 years old. 'The last 21 years have been filled with pain, confusion, frustration, shame and self-harm that are a direct result of Nick Carter raping me,' the woman claimed during the press conference.
