The member of girl group Dream has long alleged that the Backstreet Boy sexually assaulted her in 2003.
the judge decided on Wednesday that Carter presented sufficient evidence for his defamation case to move forward.
In a complaint filed in April, Schuman accused the pop singer of sexually assaulted her in 2003 when she was just 18 years old, while the two were starring in the teen horror movie . Schuman alleged that Carter gave her drug-laced alcohol during a party, before taking her away from the group and repeatedly assaulted her despite clear statements that she did not consent.
