    Police: Bieber sexual tryst may be investigated

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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.

    While no crime has been reported, Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday that the department could investigate after Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit against the teen heartthrob in San Diego Superior Court.

    "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.

    Bieber's camp has denied he is the child's father.

    California law states anyone who has unlawful sex with someone under 18 and is not more than three years older is guilty of a misdemeanor, which carries up to a one-year jail sentence.

    "The issue of statutory rape, even if she's guilty, hypothetically, that has no bearing on the duties to provide child support," said one of Yeater's lawyers, Matthew Pare. "It's a totally separate issue."

    Pare said he and his client have not been contacted by authorities or anyone representing Bieber. He said Yeater is a stay-at-home mother who is looking for adequate child support if a paternity test determines Bieber is the father.

    "The most important thing for our client is letting her baby know who his father is," Pare said.

    Yeater has not received any money from media outlets about her allegations, despite receiving public assistance, Pare added.

    Bieber, 17, has been dating 19-year-old actress-singer Selena Gomez. Rumors about the couple's relationship began about December 2010, two months after the alleged incident with Yeater.

    Emails sent to Bieber's and Gomez's representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned Thursday.

    What do you think?

    Would you marry after dating for what you consider a short time?

    No way Sure

        not "love is the answer"?! WHAT'S THE QUESTION?????!
      • lalchi 6 mths ago
        This story only came out 2 days ago. I'm sure he will take a DNA test.
      • AnyoneNobody 6 mths ago
        Has to go through the courts for orders. It's pretty much standard now a days when seeking child support to do a DNA test. Patience my dear, it'll happen.
    • Nopatienceforignorance  •  6 mths ago
      Three little letters will tell the whole story - D-N-A.
      • Janna 6 mths ago
        EXACTLY. Didn't it ever occur to this woman that a test would be run to prove her wrong??? Ugh...the stupidity of people these days never ceases to amaze me.

        Aviva -- I wouldn't touch your website even with your #$%$
      • Gonzo 6 mths ago
        Well, not the whole story. Even if he isn't the father, they may still have had sex.
    • ceanothus  •  6 mths ago
      Leave it to Bieber
    • ohthatsit  •  6 mths ago
      Awwwww!!!! All those calls to your girlfriends: "Hey I just had sex with Justin Bieber!!!!" has just turned into: "Hey I just had unlawful sex with a minor and will now have to register as a sex offender!!!".
      • DevonR 6 mths ago
        I don't think you have to register as a sex offender if it's a misdemeanor. She's not more than 3 years older than him....if she were, it would be a felony.
      • David 6 mths ago
        If you're having sex with Justin Bieber, you have bigger problems in your life.
      • nanci 6 mths ago
        Does he have parents?
    • Uldi  •  6 mths ago
      Now this is funny. She's facing a possible statutory rape charge, which could lead to a year in jail and being registered as a sex offender for the rest of her life. I wonder if she's "suddenly" remembering it might not have been him after all...
      • teamhex2002 6 mths ago
        That list means nothing to women. Do you really think a man is going to care about that when hiring a female ? Lets really think about it.
      • Terri J. 6 mths ago
        LOL! This chick is so stupid, she didn't even think about the fact that she could be charged with a crime when she came up with this story about Bieber being the "father" of her kid. What an idiot.
      • The Brooklyn Knights 6 mths ago
        IF it's his kid, I doubt that pathetic one year in jail (which would be 25 for a guy) will be a big deal considering she's set for the rest of her life thanks to it. (Again, if it's his.)
    • bjai  •  Alexandria, United States  •  6 mths ago
      i think if they are gonna get the Yeater girl for statutory rape, what about Selena Gomez? Justin is still a minor and dating someone who is a legal adult! no offense. i like Selena Gomez. good musician.
    • H.Busch  •  Chicago, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Yes. Allegations he had sex with a female should be investigated.
    • Bernadette  •  Las Vegas, United States  •  6 mths ago
      this is too funny. She thought she was going to collect a big payoff but instead may end up a sexual predator. HaHaHaHaHa, this is too funny.
    • Matthew  •  6 mths ago
      He has testicles?
    • Fire  •  Warren, United States  •  6 mths ago
      I am literally laughing at this right now. I even said it the minute it was announced on the news...I was like "Really?! She just admitted to statutory rape!! She just screwed herself over!"
    • Joe  •  Livonia, United States  •  6 mths ago
      This story falls under the category of "Who gives a #$%$"
    • john  •  Charlotte, United States  •  6 mths ago
      i think bieber was an under aged girl.
    • Ben  •  Juneau, United States  •  6 mths ago
      C'mon! Who is really gonna believe that Bieber would ever have sex with a female? Gimme a break!
    • JeffreyR  •  Santa Clara, United States  •  6 mths ago
      So you're saying that you had sex with a guy you'd never met before, in a bathroom, and that you hadn't had sex with anyone else during that time period? Riiiiiight.
    • KatH  •  6 mths ago
      Simple Paternity Tests...fast & accurate....get it done, and THEN get back to us.....MEDIA does nothing but drag things out....who says Technology frees up your time?? Go away until there's actually something to report.
    • Joe  •  Butler, United States  •  6 mths ago
      She just wanted her 30 seconds of fame
    • Gumbo Dawg  •  6 mths ago
      She is guilty of having sex with a talentless idiot.
    • Pike Bishop  •  Phoenix, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Good. Now I don't have to hear about Herman Cain for awhile.
    • john t  •  6 mths ago

      Bieber should be thrown in jail for assaulting minors with his dogshit music.
