Justin Bieber paternity suit withdrawn

Awesome News for Justin Bieber and Beliebers :) 
The woman who claimed Justin Bieber  fathered a baby with her has dropped her paternity lawsuit, but Mariah Yeater's lawyer said today she is pursuing her claim out of court.


Yeater, 20, had claimed in her lawsuit that she had sex backstage with the 17-year-old Canadian singer last year and that he was the father of her baby who was born in July. She was demanding child support.


Justin has repeatedly
denied the allegation, saying he never met the lady 
He said last week that he would take a paternity test.


Chicago attorney Jeffery Leving said today that Mariah Yeater had dropped the lawsuit but had a new legal team and hoped to reach a private settlement with Bieber's lawyers.


"She believes Justin Bieber is the father," Leving told Chicago TV channel WGNtv today. "Negotiations are going on right now with Bieber's counsel and we're tryingbie to negotiate a private, secure DNA test with the same safeguards that would exist if there were a court order, but without a court order."


"This matter is not over," Leving said.


It was not clear why the paternity lawsuit was dropped but Leving said Yeater had received death threats and was being harassed by the media.


Justin Bieber's spokesman Matthew Hiltzik called it "sad" that "someone would fabricate such a malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claim. We'll continue to consider all of our options to protect Justin."


The baby claims have threatened to tarnish Bieber's squeaky clean image and left Yeater open to a possible charge of statutory rape because Justin was only 16 years-old at the time of the alleged encounter.


In her complaint, Yeater claimed the two had sex for 30 seconds in a backstage bathroom after she attended a Bieber concert in Los Angeles in October 2010.


Bieber commented publicly on the situation himself in its early days, appearing on the Today Show Nov. 4, where he stated that he'd never met Yeater in his life.
Justin Bieber:

 "I'd just like to say, basically, that none of those allegations are true," 

"I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim."
