Katie Price was mentioned in court as her ex-husband Kieran Hayler faces a trial at Lewes Crown Court over serious claims made by a woman who was 13 at the time. The woman told police that Price contacted her after she decided to report the alleged incident, saying she supported her.
According to the woman, Price later asked if she had completed her police interview and again offered support before being blocked over fears the messages would reach Hayler. The woman also stated that Hayler called her to discuss Price, claiming Price had been using the allegations against him.
The woman testified that she kept the incident to herself for years before contacting the NSPCC in 2021 to prevent others from suffering. She added that she blamed herself for a long time and feared judgment from her mother.
Hayler denies all charges against him. His legal defense maintains that the claims are untrue and alleges that Price is orchestrating a campaign against him as the trial continues.
