ABC/Paula LoboThe L.A. County District Attorney’s Office has confirmed that it is now reviewing a sexual assault case involving Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter.
The case was presented to the D.A. by the Santa Monica Police Department after a police report was filed against the singer back in February.
The person who filed the complaint has not been named, but around the time the police report was made, singer/actress Melissa Schuman tweeted that she was filing a report against Carter. Schuman, a former member of the girl group Dream, alleged Carter sexually assaulted her back in 2002 when she was 18.
“I’m finally doing what I thought I could no longer do,” she tweeted on February 7. “I’m filing a police report #timesup #bebrave #bethechange #metoo thank you @RAINN [the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network] for empowering me to take this step.”
Carter has denied Schuman’s allegations.
