Following allegations from actress Ruby Rose, Australian authorities are investigating US pop star Katy Perry for an alleged sexual assault. The Victoria state police said on Wednesday that it was about an alleged sexual assault in 2010 in the Australian metropolis of Melbourne.
Police said that because of the ongoing investigation, it would be “inappropriate” to provide details about the case. Perry denied the allegations in a statement to the industry magazine Variety. “The allegations spread by Ruby Rose on social media are not only flat-out false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,” it said.
The statement also highlighted that Rose repeatedly “makes serious allegations against various people on social media – allegations that have been repeatedly rejected by those named.” This recurring behavior of the Australian actress, who is particularly known for the prison series “Orange is the New Black”, is “well documented”.
Perry became a star with hits like “I Kissed a Girl,” “Hot n Cold” and “Roar.” Most recently, she was in the headlines because of her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
