VICTORIA POLICE have confirmed they are investigating a historical sexual assault allegation reportedly involving pop singer Katy Perry. The probe centres on claims made by Australian actress and model Ruby Rose, who alleges the incident occurred in Melbourne in 2010.
The Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) is conducting the inquiry. Rose, who has since stated she has "finalized all of my reports" and can no longer comment publicly on the matter due to the ongoing investigation, first aired the allegations on social media.
Perry's representative has issued a denial, characterizing the claims as "dangerous, reckless lies." Police have not released further details, citing the active nature of the investigation.
Rose described the alleged incident, which she claims took place at a nightclub in Melbourne's CBD, in social media posts. She has indicated that law enforcement's involvement now restricts her from discussing the specifics publicly.

The allegations first surfaced publicly on April 13, with Rose detailing the encounter on the social platform Threads. The incident is said to have occurred when both individuals were in their early twenties. Rose is now 40, and Perry is 41.
Initial reports suggest Perry's team responded to the allegations, but details surrounding the precise timing and content of their statements remain fluid across various outlets. Perry herself reportedly posted a brief message to fans, though its direct connection to the ongoing police action is not explicitly stated in public summaries.
The matter has gained traction across multiple media platforms, with constant updates on the developing police investigation and the parties involved.
