UPDATE: Katy Perry Faces Investigation After Ruby Rose Accuses Her of Sexual Assault

Published April 16, 2026

Australian authorities are currently probing sexual assault claims made against Katy Perry by actress Ruby Rose. Victoria Police have verified that Melbourne's sexual offenses unit is looking into an alleged historical assault that took place at a licensed venue in Melbourne in 2010.

Ruby Rose, aged 40, publicly accused the 41-year-old singer on social media this past Sunday, alleging that Perry assaulted her at the Spice Market nightclub when both were in their early twenties. Perry's spokesperson strongly denied the accusations, describing them as "dangerous reckless lies" and highlighting Rose's "well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media."

In subsequent posts, Rose shared detailed descriptions of the alleged event and confirmed on Tuesday that she had "finalized all of my reports" with the police. She also indicated that she is unable to make further public comments about the matter due to standard police protocols.
