Ruby Rose Accuses Katy Perry of 2010 Sexual Assault in Australia
Australian actor Ruby Rose has made serious allegations against singer Katy Perry, claiming she was sexually assaulted in Melbourne in 2010. As a result, Victoria Police have initiated an investigation into this historical sexual assault case.
Details of the Allegations
Rose, now 40, described the incident occurring at the Spice Market nightclub when she was in her early 20s. She shared her experience in a series of now-deleted social media posts, highlighting the lasting impact of trauma.
In her messages, Rose expressed gratitude for finally finding her voice after nearly two decades. “Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes,” she wrote.
Police Investigation
The Victoria Police confirmed they are investigating the allegations but could not disclose specifics due to privacy protocols. Sgt. Julie-Anne Newman stated that the Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team is looking into the case.
- Incident occurred in 2010 at a licensed venue in Melbourne’s CBD.
- No statute of limitations on reporting sexual offenses in Victoria.
Katy Perry’s Response
Katy Perry, who is currently 41 years old, has denied the allegations through a representative. Perry’s team labeled the accusations as “categorically false” and characterized them as reckless lies.
They pointed out that Rose has a history of making serious allegations against individuals in public forums, which have often been denied. In past claims, Rose mentioned experiencing mistreatment while working on the set of “Batwoman,” which Warner Bros. Television also denied.
Next Steps
Following her initial posts, Rose indicated she would be reaching out to the police regarding her allegations. She has since stated that she has completed her reports and will not discuss the matter further publicly.
This ongoing investigation reflects broader societal discussions around trauma and the importance of voicing experiences of sexual assault.
