Penly alleges that their interactions with one another took place around December 2004 to February 2005 for a "sexually intimate relationship and [they] would see each other every few weeks" when she visited Los Angeles. As per reports, Penly claimed the sex was consensual at least three times before things allegedly took a turn while at his Hollywood apartment. Though she claims to have asked him to wear a condom, the plaintiff alleged Carter "refused," instead leading her to think "he was clean of sexually transmittable diseases". According to the lawsuit, Penly alleged that in early 2005, she had gone to his apartment once again, but only with the hope of watching movies with the singer. His lawsuit alleges that Carter "told her no because the only reason she was there was to have sex".

Penly's lawsuit alleges that the sexual assault "forcefully" happened on his bed, despite her "saying no multiple times". She adds that she was instructed to keep the assault a secret since no one would believe her. However, a few months later, Carter allegedly apologised and she went to see him again where she alleges she was sexually assaulted again.

Penly is seeking damages in excess of $15,000 and is demanding a jury trial.
