NICK CARTER IN SEXUAL BATTERY PROBE

NBC6 in South Florida is reporting that Key West police are investigating allegations that Nick Carter and a friend sexually assaulted a woman during a house visit:

Key West Police Chief Bill Mauldin spoke with NBC 6 on the phone and confirmed a police report was filed in Wisconsin.

"We're looking into a sexual battery, which allegedly occurred at a home here in Key West while she was visiting here, visiting Mr. Carter and one of his associates," Mauldin said. "She was accompanied by a relative who came here as well."

Maudlin stressed that nobody has been charged and nobody arrested; these are still being treated as allegations to investigate rather than a crime committed.

Carter's lawyer has issued a firm denial:

"Any allegation of sexual assault by Mr Carter is absolutely not true. He (Carter) vehemently denies this."
