## Summary

Kieran Hayler, Katie Price’s former husband, has been found not guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. The verdicts followed a trial at Lewes Crown Court over allegations relating to 2016; the case drew attention to the role of Price, who denied acting out of anger or seeking revenge.

The jury returned majority decisions after nearly 15 hours of deliberation, clearing Hayler of three rape counts, a sexual assault count and four alternative charges of sexual activity with a child. During the trial, Hayler alleged that Price had coached the complainant and fabricated allegations, while Price’s messages to the girl included references to an alleged kiss and an offer to make her “a little star”. Hayler and Price were married from 2013 to 2021.
