Katie Price‘s ex-husband Kieran Hayler has been charged with three counts of rape and one sexual assault of a girl, 13, while he was wed to the star.
The personal trainer, 38, is alleged to have committed the offences between June and October 2016 – in the middle of his marriage to the ex-glamour model, 47.
The pair married in 2013 and went on to have two children, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, before splitting in 2018.
The alleged victim is not a member of either Katie or Kieran’s families.
Sussex Police said on Sunday night, The Sun reports: ‘We can confirm Kieran Hayler, 38, of Northchapel in West Sussex, has been charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.
‘The offences are alleged to have occurred at an address in West Sussex between June 1 and October 13, 2016.
‘Hayler remains released under investigation and is due to appear before Crawley Magistrates’ Court on November 19.
‘The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has received support from specially trained officers as our enquiries continue.’
Hayler and Katie first met in 2012 before he proposed on Christmas Day of that year. They married at a luxury resort in the Bahamas in January 2013.
A legal representative for Hayler said on Sunday night: ‘Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in its entirety.
‘Mr Hayler is fully engaged and has been co-operating with the police throughout the investigation and will continue to do so.
‘He looks forward to his name being cleared believing in the judicial system to do so.’
Representatives for Katie Price refused to comment when approached by the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail has contacted Sussex Police and representatives for Kieran Hayler for comment.
