Katie Price believed teenager allegedly raped by ex-husband was ‘afraid’ – court

Based on the articles provided, here are the key points and developments in the case of Kieran Hayler's trial for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl while he was married to Katie Price:

• Hayler is accused of three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault involving a teenager in West Sussex in 2016.
• He denies the allegations, saying they have been fabricated.
• During his testimony at Lewes Crown Court, Hayler claimed that Katie Price had been "coaching" the alleged victim after discovering messages between them on Price's phone.
• The court heard that Price messaged the teenager in 2017 about rumors of a kiss and Hayler trying to make advances on her. She later wrote: "I will make you a little star."
• Hayler said he took photos of these messages when looking for evidence of Price having an affair with someone else.
• He testified that trust had broken down in his marriage to Price by mid-2013, and admitted to affairs with three other women during their relationship.
• However, Hayler also claimed Price was unfaithful and accused him of being attracted to 15-20 other people.
• When asked why he took photos of the messages between Price and the alleged victim, Hayler said: "Because she made out that I fancied [the complainant]. This is a bit weird."
• He told jurors he was attracted to older women and all his significant relationships had been with older partners.

The case highlights tensions between Hayler's denial of the allegations versus evidence suggesting Price may have influenced the victim. It will be up to the jury to determine if the prosecution has proven beyond reasonable doubt that sexual activity occurred between Hayler and the minor complainant.
