A woman who claims Justin Bieber fathered her baby in a backstage bathroom could be investigated for having sex with a minor because the singer was 16 at the time.
The Biebster has yet to acknowledge that he is the father or that there was even such an encounter. Melissa Victor, a spokeswoman for Bieber says there is no truth that the singer fathered a baby by a woman who has filed a paternity suit against the teen heartthrob.
Victor said in a statement Wednesday, Nov. 2, that the singer will pursue all legal remedies in response to the allegation. Online court records show Mariah Yeater filed a paternity lawsuit against Bieber on Monday in San Diego Superior Court.
But the entire encounter may be under investigation.
While no crime has been reported, Los Angeles police Commander Andrew Smith said Thursday that the department could investigate after Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit against the teen heartthrob in San Diego Superior Court, according to The Associated Press.
“If it’s brought to our attention, of course we’ll look into it,” Smith said.
Yeater had just turned 19 when she says she and Bieber, then 16, had a brief sexual encounter after one of the singer’s concerts at Staples Center. She said she gave birth to a boy in July and believes Bieber is the father because there were no other possible men she had sex with at that time.
She is asking a judge for child support and a paternity test. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 15.
