Justin Bieber stopped by the Today Show to set the record straight regarding Mariah Yeater's claims that he fathered her son.

While surrounded by hundreds of screaming fans, Bieber, 17, told Matt Lauer:

    "None of those allegations are true ... I know I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim. It's crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's crazy some people want to make up such false allegations. But to set the record straight, none of it is true."


Yeater, the 20-year-old woman who claims she slept with Justin Bieber, says she and Bieber had sex following his concert at the Staples Center on October 25th of last year ... resulting in the birth of her son, Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater.

Bieber adds, "Never met the woman."

However, if the alleged sexual encounter is proven to be true, Yeater could be charged with statutory rape due to the fact that Bieber would have been only 16 at that time.
