She alleges Carter fed her a sedative-laced cocktail and performed oral sex on her, over her protests, before raping her on a twin bed.
Carter continued to force himself on her, whispering in her ear that he could be her husband,” her lawsuit alleges.
In the 2024 Investigation Discovery docuseries Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter, Schuman alleges she felt pressured into recording the duet with Carter by her management at the time.
Carter also is being sued by Shannon “Shay” Ruth, a woman who alleges Carter sexually assaulted her on a tour bus in February 2001, and Ashley Repp, who alleges Carter raped her on a yacht in 2003 when she was 15 years old.
She claims Carter picked up off the ground and “threw her onto his bed” before forcefully raping her.
