Schuman gave a detailed description of the alleged incident on her blog, claiming that Carter raped her when she was 18. An investigation is now being conducted by the Santa Monica Police.

In her blog, she tells about all about the alleged incident stating that she was vocal about not wanting to continue with sexual acts. “ …he took my hand and brought me into the bathroom adjacent to his office. He shut the door and we continued to kiss. I asked him what we were doing in there. He didn’t respond and continued to kiss me. He then pick me up, put me on the counter and started to unbutton my pants. I told him I didn’t want to go any further. He didn’t listen. He didn’t care. ”

Even before filing a sexual assault report against Carter the former singer took to Twitter to voice her views.

It was consensual right? I don’t know about you but when you’ve had consensual sex you don’t really fill up with tears afterwards- @rosemcgowan thank you 😪 me too #nickcarter #iwillnotbesilenced

If rape isn’t bad enough. What about repeated accounts of domestic violence against so many other women you’ve been with? If you’ve changed, APOLOGIZE. Not just to me but the others. #nickcarter

Doing nothing is always easier than doing something. That something for me is speaking up and speaking out. I did nothing for too long. #metoo#timesup#hertoo#stopvictimblamingpic.twitter.com/YokNNKCGh1

Carter has claimed everything was consensual between them and is shocked by the accusations. “I am shocked and saddened by Ms. Schuman’s accusations. Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual. We went on to record a song and perform together, and I was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally. This is the first that I am hearing about these accusations, nearly two decades later. It is contrary to my nature and everything I hold dear to intentionally cause someone discomfort or harm,” Carter told People.
