Hayes said authorities had not gathered enough evidence in their investigation of the alleged incident to incriminate Carter.

Carter has been accused of sexual assault by two other women in separate lawsuits.
Carter faced charges of sexual assault and assault by singer Melissa Schuman in April in a lawsuit over an alleged 2002 incident that took place in Santa Monica, California.
Carter, according to legal documents reviewed by TMZwas accused by Schuman, 38, of forcing her to perform oral sex when he was 22 and she was 18.
Schuman said her first sexual experience was with Carter, the paper reported, despite her insistence that she didn’t want to have sex until she was married.
The legal maneuver against the Backstreet Boys member came more than five years after Schuman, a one-time member of the group Dream, filed a report against Carter with the Santa Monica Police Department, but prosecutors had not taken up the case at the time.
In filing the lawsuit earlier this year, Schuman cited a new California bill that would allow for the lifting of the statute of limitations on civil lawsuits because she hopes a judge will review the information in the case.
Carter has denied all of Schuman’s accusations.
