Backstreet Boys member, Nick Carter, pleaded guilty to one count of driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol count of over 0.08., in Orange County Superior Court. The judge ordered Carter to pay $1,200 in fines, three months in rehab, three years' informal probation and restricted his driving privileges for 90 days

"Reports of Nick being ordered to rehab are completely false and misleading, the sentence he received was the California State required minimums given to anyone found guilty of this charge," said publicist Juliette Harris,

"We are grateful to his legal team, the court and District Attorney. His required fulfillment of the alcohol program will not interfere with Backstreet Boy's current touring and promotions of the new album." Nick Carter wasn't present in the court.
