Victoria Police Open Probe Into Ruby Rose Sexual Assault Allegation Against Katy Perry

The inquiry moves the claim from social media to a formal police process.

Overview

  • Victoria Police said Wednesday that specialist detectives are investigating an alleged 2010 sexual assault at a licensed venue in Melbourne’s CBD, following public claims linked to the case.
  • Katy Perry’s representatives have issued a categorical denial, calling Ruby Rose’s allegation “dangerous, reckless lies” and “categorically false.”
  • Ruby Rose, 40, first posted the accusation on Threads on Sunday, naming Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne and claiming she has photos and witnesses.
  • Rose wrote Tuesday that she had finalised her reports with police and would pause public comment at investigators’ request.
  • No charges have been announced, and the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team typically withholds details during active inquiries, underscoring that an investigation is not the same as a criminal charge.
