- “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,” Shannon “Shay” Ruth shared in a tearful speech.
- “Even though I’m autistic and live with cerebral palsy, I believe that nothing has affected me more or had a more lasting impact on my life than what Nick Carter did and said to me,” she added.
- “After he raped me, I remember him calling me a ‘r*****ed b****’ and grabbing me and leaving bruises on my arm,” Ruth continued. “Carter tried to scare me into silence … he was nasty and threatening.”
