Katie Price's Ex-Husband Hayler Accused of Rape 'Told 13-Year-Old Not to Tell Anyone'
He is charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, and his trial is scheduled to last nine days.
- On Monday, 39-year-old Kieran Hayler appeared at Lewes Crown Court facing three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault of a teenager in West Sussex in 2016.
- Jurors heard Hayler allegedly told the 13-year-old that sex was a "special thing" and a "good thing I needed to do," while she told police he pressured her to keep encounters secretive.
- Hayler denies all charges, suggesting his ex-wife Katie Price "launched a campaign" against him after their 2018 separation, though he remains engaged with the judicial process and looks forward to his name being cleared.
- The investigation began in 2021 after the complainant contacted the NSPCC, which referred her to police, prompting the case; the trial is scheduled to last nine days.
- Reality star Katie Price is expected to testify as a witness while the complainant receives support from specially trained officers; the NSPCC and Napac offer assistance for those affected.
