Victoria Police have started an investigation into a sexual assault claim made against singer Katy Perry. The probe follows public accusations by actress Ruby Rose about an incident that took place in Melbourne in 2010.

Allegation Made Public

Ruby Rose posted details of the alleged assault on social media on Sunday. She said the event happened at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District. According to her account, Perry bent down, pulled her underwear to the side, and rubbed her vagina on Rose’s face until Rose projectile vomited on her.

Rose, who is now 40 years old, wrote that it had taken almost two decades to speak publicly about the matter. “I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,” she stated.

She added that she is grateful to have made it long enough to find her voice. Rose also thanked people for seeing her. She has since updated her social media followers, noting that she is no longer at liberty to speak about the case.

The allegation describes the incident as unfolding in a nightclub. Rose made the claims on Sunday, detailing what she said occurred during that night in 2010. The post included specific information about the physical actions she attributed to Perry.

Perry Denies Claims

Representatives for Katy Perry issued a statement denying the accusations. “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,” the statement said.

The representatives also noted that Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals. They said claims like these have repeatedly been denied by those named. Perry’s team described the latest accusations as false and reckless.

The investigation by Victoria Police is now active. Police have not provided additional details beyond confirming the historical nature of the claim and the location in Melbourne. No charges have been filed against Katy Perry at this time. The process is in its early stages, and authorities are expected to gather information related to the 2010 allegation.

Katy Perry has not made a personal public comment on the matter. All responses have come through her representatives. Ruby Rose’s posts marked the first time she publicly detailed the allegation after keeping silent for nearly 16 years. The timeline places the alleged event firmly in 2010, when both women were active in the entertainment industry.
