According to the official press release by American news outlet Page Six, the alleged incident happened after one of Nick Carter’s concerts. He invited the plaintiff onto his tour bus to hang out.

Holtz added that this isn’t the first time that the plaintiff has made such claims. They have been manipulating false allegations about Carter for several years now by producing doubtful materials. He believes the whole matter to be a publicity stunt by an opportunistic lawyer and denies all the claims forged against Nick Carter.
