Trigger Warning: The article contains mentions of rape and abuse.

In the latest unfolding of the case against Nick Carter, where he was accused of raping Shannon ‘Shay’ Ruth in a tour bus in 2001, it took a new turn as a judge ruled that the singer could move ahead with his counterclaim against Shannon.

As per the court documents obtained by People magazine, the judge who ruled it, Nancy L. Allf, had denied Shannon’s anti-SLAPP motion against the Backstreet Boys vocalists countersuit as she had “failed to satisfy her burden.”

This was ruled on Tuesdays, and it was also mentioned that even though Shannon alleged that she crossed paths with Carter in an autograph line, witness affidavits submitted by the singer stated otherwise. It was mentioned that Carter, along with his band, left the show venue soon after it ended, and there was no such autograph line after the event, per the report.
