Kieran Hayler is set to stand trial accused of raping a 13-year-old girl, and his former wife, Katie Price, will be called to give evidence, the court has confirmed. The charges against Hayler include three counts of rape and one of sexual assault, all of which he denies. The alleged incidents are said to have occurred at a West Sussex address between June and October 2016.
During a hearing at Lewes Crown Court on Thursday, it was announced that Hayler, aged 39, will face trial in October. The court was informed that Price, who was married to Hayler at the time when the offences reportedly happened, will testify during the trial proceedings.
