Kieran Hayler, the ex-husband of Katie Price, is facing serious allegations of rape involving a teenager who was 13 at the time of the incidents. During court proceedings, the alleged victim recounted her experiences and stated that Hayler told her to keep the matter secret, suggesting it was 'special' and warning her it could lead to trouble. Hayler has denied the charges and claims that the allegations are part of a campaign against him following his divorce from Price.
The trial is expected to last about a week, with Price anticipated to testify. The complainant reported the incidents to the NSPCC in 2021, leading to a police investigation. Hayler's defense includes accusations that Price has orchestrated a campaign against him since their marriage ended in 2018.
