Victoria Police Open Investigation Into 2010 Assault Allegation After Ruby Rose Accuses Katy Perry

Overview

• Victoria Police confirmed an active investigation into an alleged sexual assault in Melbourne in 2010 after receiving a complaint, without naming Katy Perry.
• Ruby Rose said she filed the complaint and finalized statements to police, then told followers she would not comment further during the investigation.
• The actress first described the incident in now-deleted social posts, saying it happened at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne and giving graphic details.
• Katy Perry’s representative issued a categorical denial, calling the claims false as well as “dangerous and irresponsible,” in statements reported by media including Variety.
• Earlier reporting quoted Rose saying she did not plan to file a complaint, a discrepancy later overtaken by police confirmation of a case and by references to a separate 2019 allegation for context.
