Authorities in Australia have launched an investigation following allegations by actress Ruby Rose accusing pop star Katy Perry of sexual assault.
Police in Melbourne confirmed that a specialized unit is examining claims related to an alleged incident that reportedly took place in a nightclub in the city's central business district in 2010. Officials have declined to provide further details due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Rose made the allegation earlier this week on social media, stating that the incident occurred at a Melbourne nightclub. She later indicated that she had filed a formal police report and would refrain from further public comments while the investigation proceeds.
Perry has strongly denied the allegations through her representative, who described the claims as “categorically false” and dismissed them as reckless. There has been no additional response following the launch of the investigation.
The allegation initially surfaced in response to a social media post discussing Perry’s recent public appearance at the Coachella, where she attended alongside high-profile figures including Justin Trudeau.
The case has drawn significant attention, given the global profiles of both individuals. Authorities have emphasized that the matter is under active review, and no conclusions have yet been reached as investigations continue.
