Pop star Justin Bieber has strongly denied a rape allegation made on an anonymous Twitter account over the weekend.
A number of Twitter accounts made claims about incidents that are alleged to have happened in 2014 and 2015.
Justin Bieber has used his social media platform to strongly deny the allegations.
The account of one anonymous accuser has since been removed from Twitter, but Bieber responded to it, tweeting: "There is no truth to this story."
Another account, which had the username Danielle tweeted claims about an assault in Houston, Texas on March 9, 2014.
She alleged that after a surprise performance in front of a small crowd at a bar, Bieber invited her and two friends to a Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas.
Every claim of sexual abuse should be taken very seriously and this is why my response was needed. However this story is factually impossible and that is why I will be working with twitter and authorities to take legal action.

She claimed that he took her to a private room where the alleged sexual assault happened.
She says she remained silent on the issue for years but has now had "multiple therapy sessions" and spoken to family and close friends.
The tweets have since been deleted but screengrabs of her comments continue to be shared.
Bieber responded to the allegation "after talking with [his] wife and team", with a denial.
In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four seasons hotel. I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location.

As her story told I did surprise a crowd in Austin at Sxsw where I appeared on stage with my then assistant side stage and sang a few songs. What this person did not know was that I attended that show with my then gf Selena Gomez

The singer also posted screenshots and articles from the night the alleged 2014 assault took place, which show him with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
He says they did not stay at the Four Seasons hotel but at an AirBnB with some friends.
The other reason this story might say I was staying at the four seasons was because a tweet from 2014 on March 10th not the the 9th says they saw me there . This is that tweet pic.twitter.com/piTHxjajvi

However I never stayed at the four seasons on the 9th or the 10th. This person put another tweet up earlier saying they saw me at the restaurant the following night not the hotel pic.twitter.com/K4WHNRlC6k

Bieber also shared screenshots of emails and receipts for an AirBnB and for the Westin hotel for the dates in question.
Contacted by the BBC, a spokesperson for the 26-year-old singer said they wouldn't comment and had nothing to add to the singer's tweets.
The singer has not responded to another allegation from a person known as Kadi, who claims she was assaulted in a New York hotel in May 2015.
