Kieran Hayler, the former husband of television personality Katie Price, has denied charges of rape and sexual assault. The 38-year-old appeared at Lewes Crown Court in East Sussex, where he pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.
The alleged offences are reported to have taken place in 2016 at an address in West Sussex. The victim, who cannot be legally identified, is said to be a 13-year-old girl and is not part of Hayler's or Price's extended families.
During the hearing, Hayler, who was wearing a large navy coat over a white shirt and grey tie, entered his pleas. He has been granted bail on the condition that he does not contact the alleged victim.
A pre-trial review is scheduled for April 23 next year, with a one-week trial set to begin on October 6 2026. Hayler, who has 195,000 followers on Instagram, married Katie Price in 2013; the couple later divorced.
