Ruby Rose Accuses Katy Perry of Sexual Assault; Police Investigate Australian actor Ruby Rose has accused pop star Katy Perry of sexual assault dating back to 2010. Provincial police have confirmed an investigation into a historical sexual assault in Melbourne, with a statement noting the incident reportedly occurred at a licensed venue in the CBD. Perry's representatives have denied the allegations, calling them 'categorically false, dangerous reckless lies,' and referencing Rose's past public accusations. Australian actor Ruby Rose has come forward with serious allegations against pop star Katy Perry, accusing the singer of sexual assault that allegedly occurred approximately fifteen years ago in Melbourne. The claims, initially surfaced by Rose on social media, have prompted an official response from provincial police. Victoria Police confirmed on Wednesday, April 15, that they are actively investigating a historical sexual assault incident. When approached for comment regarding Rose's specific accusations, Victoria Police Sergeant Julie-Anne Newman stated that due to privacy protocols, she was unable to discuss the intricate details of the ongoing matter. However, police did confirm that a formal probe had been initiated. A statement released by Victoria Police indicated that detectives from the Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) are leading the inquiry into a sexual assault that is reported to have taken place in Melbourne back in 2010. The police statement further specified that they have been informed the alleged incident occurred within a licensed establishment located in Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD). Emphasizing the sensitive nature of the investigation, police stated that as the inquiry remains active, further commentary at this juncture would be inappropriate. It is noteworthy that in the Australian state of Victoria, there is no statute of limitations that prevents the reporting of sexual offenses, a legal framework that allows for such historical allegations to be pursued. Ruby Rose, 40, is a well-recognized figure in the entertainment industry, known for her roles in popular productions such as the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, The CW's Batwoman, and the action film John Wick: Chapter 2. In contrast, a representative for Katy Perry, 41, declined to provide NBC News with a comment on Wednesday concerning the police investigation. Nevertheless, in a statement released earlier in the week, Perry's team issued a firm denial of the allegations made by Rose. The statement unequivocally characterized the allegations circulating on social media as not only categorically false but also as dangerous and reckless lies. Perry's team also pointed to what they described as Rose's well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have consistently been refuted by those who were named. This is not the first time Ruby Rose has publicly voiced grievances related to her professional experiences. She has previously made allegations of mistreatment on the set of the television series Batwoman, assertions that were subsequently denied by Warner Bros. Television. The recent accusations against Katy Perry emerged through a series of posts on the social media platform Threads, which have since been deleted. In these posts, Rose explicitly stated, Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. She further elaborated on the timeline, noting, I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly. In another deleted post, she expressed gratitude for surviving long enough to find her voice, highlighting the profound impact trauma and sexual assault can have, and thanked her audience for their acknowledgment. Following these initial posts, Rose announced on Monday that she would be contacting the police regarding the matter. She then provided an update on Tuesday, indicating that she had finalized all her reports and could no longer publicly discuss the case. This news story was originally reported on NBCNews.com
