Katy Perry Denies Allegations as Police Investigate Claims from Ruby Rose
By Alexus Mosley
Katy Perry is at the center of a developing investigation following allegations made by Ruby Rose, and the situation is quickly gaining global attention. On April 13, Rose took to Threads to allege that Perry sexually assaulted her at a Melbourne nightclub in 2010. The actress said she was in her early 20s at the time and shared that it took nearly two decades to speak publicly, citing the long-term impact of trauma. Shortly after, Rose confirmed she had filed a formal police report with authorities in Victoria, Australia.
Days later, Victoria Police confirmed they are investigating a “historical sexual assault” alleged to have occurred in Melbourne’s central business district in 2010. The case is being handled by the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT), with officials noting that the investigation is ongoing and further details cannot be released at this time.
Perry, through her representatives, has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false” and “dangerous, reckless lies.” Her team also pointed to Rose’s past public accusations, which they say have been previously denied by those involved. Since making the claims, Rose has stated that she has completed all necessary reports and will not be commenting further, citing police guidance as the investigation continues. With no statute of limitations on sexual assault cases in Victoria, the inquiry is expected to unfold over the coming weeks or months as authorities review evidence and determine next steps.
For now, the situation remains under investigation, marking another moment where celebrity, accountability, and public scrutiny intersect in real time.
