Australian police have confirmed they are investigating Katy Perry after actor Ruby Rose reported an alleged sexual assault in Melbourne dating back to 2010. The historical complaint, made to Victoria Police, centres on an incident Rose says took place at a CBD nightclub when both women were out in the city.
The allegation surfaced only days ago, after Perry made a light-hearted remark about Justin Bieber's Coachella set. Rose responded on social platform Threads, accusing the pop star of sexually assaulting her roughly 20 years ago during a night out. She later identified the venue as Spice Market, a well-known nightclub in central Melbourne, and said she had now taken the matter to police.
