Los Angeles - Lawyers for Mariah Yeater, Lance Rogers and Matthew Pare, have claimed that "there is credible evidence that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of her baby".
However, Bieber's camp has hit back, saying that the allegation that Justin Bieber fathered a baby by a woman who has filed a paternity suit is "demonstrably false", a spokesperson for the singer said on Wednesday.
Melissa Victor said in a statement that Bieber's camp will "vigorously pursue all available legal remedies" in response to the allegation.
"While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false claims," Victor said.
Online court records show Mariah Yeater filed a paternity lawsuit against Bieber, 17, on Monday in San Diego Superior Court. California law keeps paternity matters confidential but Radar Online posted a copy of the lawsuit on its site.
Yeater, 20, said she had sex with Bieber after one of his concerts at the Staples Centre in October 2010, according to the posted suit. She said she gave birth to a boy in July and believes the teen heartthrob 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.
Bieber hasn't denied it
Yeater's attorneys said in a statement provided to The Associated Press that their client isn't seeking a large amount of money from Bieber.
Yeater "is pursuing a modest and rightful claim".
The attorneys also note that Bieber hasn't denied he had unprotected sex with Yeater following the concert.
"We call upon Justin Bieber and his attorneys to reach out to resolve this issue in a reasonable manner," they said.
Bieber, who was 16 at the time of the alleged incident, tweeted on Wednesday that he was going to ignore the rumours and he should be judged on his music.
