Sussex Police confirmed that the alleged offences took place between June and October 2016, while Hayler was married to the former glamour model and TV personality. The alleged victim is not related to either Katie Price or Hayler. A spokesperson for Sussex Police said on Sunday night, according to The Sun: ‘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 has denied the allegations (Picture: Justin Goff Photos/Getty Images) Hayler and Price share two children (Picture: Ian Gavan/Getty Images) Hayler, a personal trainer and former stripper, was married to Price from 2013 until their split in 2018. The pair share two children together, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11. The couple’s relationship was frequently in the headlines during their five-year marriage, which was marked by multiple public scandals. Price discovered Hayler had been unfaithful with her best friend Jane Pountney in 2014 while pregnant with their second child. He later admitted to another affair with one of Price’s friends, Chrissy Thomas. Despite the infidelities, the couple reconciled twice, renewing their wedding vows in 2015 and again in 2017.

Hayler’s legal representative said on Sunday, according to MailOnline: ‘Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in their 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.’ Metro has reached out to Sussex Police and representatives for Kieran Hayler for comment. Got a story?
