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.
