Story summary

Kieran Hayler, 39, arrived at Lewes Crown Court on October 6, 2020, for his trial where he faces three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old girl. The alleged incidents took place at Dial Post, West Sussex, in 2016 when Hayler was married to model Katie Price. Hayler denies the charges and claims that nothing sexual occurred during their encounters with the victim, who is now aged 23 but cannot be named for legal reasons due to her age at the time of alleged abuse. In January 2022, the girl contacted NSPCC, which prompted an investigation by Sussex Police. During court proceedings, she testified that Hayler texted her "I love you goodnight" after allegedly raping her and instructed her to keep their interactions secret or face consequences.
