Kieran Hayler denies shocking charges of raping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. The alleged crimes happened back in 2016 while he was still married to reality star Katie Price.
Hayler Slapped with Multiple Sex Crime Charges
The 38-year-old former stripper and actor faces three counts of rape and one charge of sexual assault. The offences reportedly occurred between June and October 2016 at a West Sussex home. The alleged victim is not connected to Hayler or Price’s family.
Hayler appeared at Lewes Crown Court where he pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Trial Locked In for October 2026
After Sussex Police filed charges in October, Hayler was granted bail. He’s due back in court in April, with trial set for October 2026. The hearing is expected to run for a week.
“Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in entirety. He has cooperated fully with police and looks forward to clearing his name through the judicial system,” said a spokesperson.
Stormy Past with Katie Price
Hayler married Katie Price in a lavish Bahamas ceremony in 2013. He was Price’s third husband, following Peter Andre and Alex Reid. The couple split in 2018 amid cheating scandals and officially divorced in 2021. Hayler then got engaged to Michelle Penticost but broke up earlier this year.
