The woman on Saturday tweeted the accusation from a now-deleted account, saying Bieber had sexually assaulted her at a hotel in Austin, Texas on March 9, 2014.

Bieber took to Twitter and wrote, “I don’t normally address things as I have dealt with random accusations my entire career,” Bieber began, and added, “but after talking with my wife and team I have decided to speak up on an issue tonight.”

He further wrote, “Rumors are rumors but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly. I wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily I wanted to make sure I gathered the facts before I made any statement.
