Musician and actress Melissa Schuman filed a lawsuit stating she “is a survivor of sexual abuse, sexual battery, assault, and molestation at the hands of Defendant Nick Carter.” Schuman spoke out publicly about her assault in November of 2017, but due to the existing 10-year statute of limitations, it was too late for her to make a legal claim against her attacker. That changed when the California legislature passed the Sexual Abuse and Coverup Accountability Act which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations.

Karen’s band The Dissenters will be playing this year at the Mass Torts Made Perfect conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 12.

Entertainment Tonight reports on the lawsuit agianst Steven Tyler:

Menzies added, “Tyler’s actions were inexcusable, even though he operated in an industry that tolerated and continues to tolerate inexcusable behavior. This lawsuit is about putting the industry on notice that justice is coming.”
