Police say a 17-year old girl complained that a week ago the young celebrity came to her house and raped her.
The suspect has denied the allegations, claiming the girl is an acquaintance and that he did not use force.
"This is a gentle-spirited boy, who has women falling at his feet. It sounds like intentional framing," said his agent, adding that she hoped he would be released soon.
