Katie Price is expected to testify in the trial of her former husband, Kieran Hayler, who faces charges of raping a 13-year-old girl, a UK court has confirmed. The case was mentioned at a preliminary hearing, where it was stated that Price would be called as a witness.
Hayler, 39, is charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault relating to an alleged incident involving a minor. He has denied all charges. The trial is scheduled to take place at a later date, with the court setting a timetable for the proceedings.
Price, a media personality and former model, was married to Hayler from 2013 to 2021. The couple has two children together. The court heard that Price's testimony will be required as part of the prosecution's case.
Legal experts note that the case is in its early stages, and further details are expected to emerge as the trial progresses. The court has imposed reporting restrictions to protect the identity of the alleged victim.
