Australian police have launched an investigation after Ruby Rose accused Katy Perry of sexual assault in a string of social media posts. Perry has strongly denied the claims.
Victoria police said on Wednesday that detectives were examining an allegation of “historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.”
The police force did not name Rose or Perry, but the Australian actress, whose credits include Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, has said she is in contact with detectives.
A Victoria police spokesperson told Deadline: “Melbourne sexual offences and child abuse investigation team detectives are investigating [an alleged] historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.
“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD [central business district]. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
