Kieran Hayler, Katie Price’s former husband, is on trial at Lewes Crown Court accused of three rapes and one sexual assault against a girl who was 13 at the time, in West Sussex in 2016. He denies all charges. The complainant, now 23, told police that Hayler described sex as “special” and urged her to keep what happened secret; she said she felt confused and at fault and had not told her mother the full account. The allegations came to police attention after she contacted the NSPCC in 2021. The complainant cannot be publicly identified, and Price is expected to give evidence.
