Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter's sexual assault accusers get their say in new docuseries Fallen Idols - which also explores his late brother Aaron Carter's struggles

The multiple allegations of sexual assault that have dogged Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter are set to be delved into in a new Investigation Discovery docuseries.

Fallen Idols: Nick And Aaron Carter, which released its trailer on Wednesday, will feature on-camera interviews with three women who have so far accused the boy-band member of sexual misconduct, including Melissa Schuman, Ashley Repp and Shay Ruth. DailyMail.com has reached out to a rep for Carter for comment.

Last year, following the most recent accusation from Repp — who was referred to only by her initials at the time — Carter's attorney Dale Hayes Jr. told DailyMail.com that Nick denies her claims, while describing the three lawsuits as 'malicious schemes.'

The four-part documentary's trailer — which follows in the wake of Quiet On Set, a docuseries featuring accounts of sexual assault and pedophilia at Nickelodeon in the 1990s and 2000s — also indicates that a major focus of the series will be Nick's younger brother Aaron Carter, who died in November 2022.

Carter struggled with mental illness and drug abuse in his final years, which the non-fiction series will depict, but the trailer indicates that Fallen Idols will also explore the rift that developed between Nick, 44, after his younger brother publicly threw his support behind the women who had accused him of sexually assaulting them.

The trailer opens with an unidentified blond woman, who looks directly into the camera with a steely expression and begins: 'Back in 2004, Nick Carter was my boyfriend.'

A photo of a group of female performers at an MTV event flashes across the screen, suggesting that she may have been a member of the group.

Nick is then seen beaming on stage in front of a massive crowd. 

'And there's things I know about Nick that could burn his house down,' she continues.

The trailer continues to set the scene by showing a younger Nick as he goofs around with his Backstreet Boys bandmates and is cheered on by adoring female fans.

'Nick Carter, from the Backstreet Boys, was this absolute superstar. He could do no wrong,' adds another woman who is briefly glimpsed on camera during an interview.

'And his brother, Aaron Carter, was part of that world. Everybody was enamored by them,' adds another woman's voice as a young Aaron is seen singing on stage.

'Nick looks like a perfect, pretty Ken doll,' says the first woman as she reappears on camera. 'But I know who evil he can be.'

Then, in quick succession, three women who appear to be Nick's accusers are heard in voiceover as they describe alleged sexual assaults.

The women are at first shown only in old photos that appear to show them closer to the ages they were during their alleged encounters with Carter.

However, the voices merge together, making it difficult to tell who is saying what.

'I said, "No, I don't want to have sex." And every time I would say no he started to get very angry with me,' the women claim. 'And he's screaming at me. He kept at me and kept at me.'

Then present-day Schuman appears on camera and adds 'He just didn't stop' while shaking her head.

Carter is then pictured with headlines superimposed referencing Shannon 'Shay' Ruth, who claimed in December 2022 that Carter had sexually assaulted her on his tour bus in 2001 when she was only 17.

Another headline features Schuman, a member of the girl group Dream, and her sexual assault allegation against Carter.

Then a dramatization shows a search bar as someone types in #IStandWithNickCarter, referencing a campaign of support that Carter's fans launched in the wake of the initial allegations against him.

Another woman, who appears to be fellow accuser Ashley Repp, chimes in: 'But we weren't believed.' 

The screen then fills up with closeups of harassing social media comments seemingly intended for the women accusing Carter, including one instructing a woman to 'kill yourself.'

But then Carter is seen flanked by some of his fellow Backstreet Boys as he addresses a crowd at a microphone for what looks like a press conference.

'I want to thank everybody for sticking with us through the ups and the downs,' he says, before breaking out into a wide grin. 'I'm sorry for some of it.'

Schuman appears on camera again to add, 'But then everything changed.'

Nick's younger brother Aaron Carter is then pictured in an Instagram Live video as he says, 'And my brother raped you, and I know it.' 

'Aaron speaking out was huge,' says another woman off camera.

Schuman returns to say, 'I warned Aaron: they're going to come after you.' 

Aaron, who suffered from mental health and drug abuse issues at the time, then complains of a dead bird that was allegedly shot and killed before being tossed onto his porch.

'My brother — clearly he's doing it,' Aaron claims in another live video. 

'It only started when I f***ing became a voice for rape victims!' he adds in an increasingly impassioned speech. 

Next, the trailer lists headlines about Nick's siblings and mother to suggest significant legal and relational issues among the family members. 

One chilling clip shows a particularly gaunt Aaron as he lights what looks like a cigarette and loads a pump-action shotgun and a large rifle, both of which he points toward the ceiling.

After a faux television announcer voices notes that Aaron has been found dead, Nick is seen in what appears to be a courthouse as the voice says he 'faces new allegations of sexual assault.'
