Bieber accuser welcomes paternity test commitment

Lawyers representing Justin Bieber’s toilet sex alleger Mariah Yeater have welcomed news that the popster has said he will take a paternity test as soon as he returns to the US. As previously reported, Bieber’s people said this weekend that the pop teen would take the test to disprove once and for all the allegations made against him last week – ie that he had a brief sexual liaison with Yeater backstage at LA’s Staple’s Center and that she became pregnant as a result.

The initial legal action filed by Yeater’s people requested a court order forcing the pop star to take a paternity test, but that order now won’t be required. On hearing that Bieber planned to have a DNA test later this month, Yeater’s attorneys Matt Pare and Lance Rogers told the New York Post: “We are encouraged that Justin Bieber will voluntarily take the paternity test. That is the only way to definitively determine who the father is. The paternity suit was filed in good faith, and it will continue”.

Of course if the paternity test is negative, backing up Bieber’s claim that he has never even met Yeater, then the accuser faces a defamation lawsuit. Nevertheless, she was sticking to her story when interviewed by US TV show ‘The Insider’ this week. Again she alleged she met the pop star backstage after an LA concert, that he asked “would you mind if we go somewhere to be alone”, that he was “sweet and cute” until they had some privacy, in a bathroom, when he became “more aggressive” and said “I want to fuck you”. She again claimed that she asked Bieber to use a condom but that the pop teen refused.

As previously reported, Bieber told ‘Today’ last week that Yeater’s claims, as well as being untrue, were also flawed, because he never stayed at venues after concerts were over. And yesterday US media were quoting a security guard who worked for the pop star as backing up those claims, saying Bieber was with friends and family in a dressing room backstage before and immediately after the show in question, and that he himself walked the star to his car shortly after the concert was over.
