…who’s fortunate enough (or unfortunate enough, depending on the results) to have a possibly-exonerating DNA test to fall back on. In the case of a false accusation of fathering a baby, it’s a simple way to prove the truth or falsehood of a claim.
It’s hard for me to understand the motivation of Bieber’s accuser if it is a false claim and the test exonerates Bieber—although, as I wrote earlier today, some people are attracted to notoriety.
Assuming the test shows Bieber to not be the father of Yeater’s baby, he’s got plans:
The pop superstar is also likely to sue Yeater and the people representing her to show there are consequences to making false accusations.
In addition, his accuser could be subject to prosecution for statutory rape if they did have intercourse, because of the age difference.
And speaking of babies—to me, Bieber has always looked so young as to be nearly fetal himself. But he seems to be one of the more extreme examples of a phenomenon I wrote about here, the androgynous male heartthrob.
Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

I refuse to comment about such trivialities.
Doh!

The kid’s got a hard life, I’ll give him that.

So 16 year old supposed “virgin” Bieber is rushing back stage after a concert, some twenty something woman somehow pulls him into a bathroom stall along the way (inquiring minds want to know, men’s or women’s?) they have sex that lasts a minute or less, and now she she says she’s had his baby.
No security? No explanation about how she might have gotten him into the stall, no details about how they managed a successful several second encounter there?
Just get the damned DNA test, and have done with this crap.

At least he’s still a (non-metaphorical) kid, even if he is finally old enough to drive in most states….
There’s nothing wrong with a guy being under twenty and having that much of a baby-face.

“It’s hard for me to understand the motivation of Bieber’s accuser if it is a false claim”
I can think of *millions* of reasons …

This isn’t the first time a woman has made paternity allegations against an unlikely male pop singer. Back in 2008 some wacko filed a paternity suit against Michael Jackson. That’s even weirder than accusing 17 year old Justin Bieber of fathering your kid.

WRT Bieber’s appeal: ?????????????
Heard him sing for a couple of bars.????????
Used to be a fad in male models who were used in ads for women’s stuff. Big, lantern jaws, blue stubble and the wimpiest, weakest eyes and expression imaginable. Made you embarrassed to be a man.
Figure it meant lots of testosterone while being completely controllable, or, in another sense, perfectly safe.
Would a teenage girl’s father ever see Bieber as a threat to his daughter’s virtue? As the French say, it is to laugh. Apparently the girls think being a threat to his virtue is pretty keen.

You people are letting your age show.
There’s always a market for “cute” androgynous males, esp if they have high singing voices in their teens/early twenties.
Please remember choirboys.
In any case , here’s a funny video that made fun of the Beiber from a few years ago:

I’m currently not in a relationship so I’m gonna use that “The square root of 1600 is 40…” line. It will get a laugh

Beiber is lucky that she did not accuse him of sexual harassment. It is possible to disprove paternity but not harassment.

Steve: my point exactly.

Bieber is even putatively interested in women?
What next? A paternity suit against Rock Hudson’s estate?
November 8th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
I don’t follow this stuff, but just looking at Bieber I’d have thought he was a … uh … Democrat, shall we say?

Has anyone noticed that Conservative’s have just way too much fun laughing about this sort of thing? Remember the guy who claimed to have made the beast with Nikki Haley? All the men commentators jumped in with claims that they had also done the deed with her, always in “I cannot tell a lie, must come clean, right now” format. Note, she was elected. We laugh. We work. We vote.
Bialek’s history is surfacing, remembered by other co-workers, and people are asking how it is that Mr. Cain only seems to have gone into Pon Farr in the three years that he worked with the National Restaurant Association.
As a man in nursing, and a bit older than average, (with always something of a reputation for being, I don’t know, a gentleman?) it has often fallen to me to give the serious talking to, to other employees and sometimes to male patients, about fairly obvious boundaries. I can say from much experience that a lot of guys seem not to know when their attentions are not welcome. However, this God’s gift to women delusion is usually life long. I can barely imagine Mr. Cain, coming from the kind of sober industrious background that he did, failing to understand the whole system of sexual etiquette.
