Authorities in Australia have launched an investigation following allegations made by actress and model Ruby Rose against singer Katy Perry, concerning a suspected incident that is claimed to have occurred about 20 years ago at a nightclub in Melbourne.
According to Australian media, Victoria State Police have confirmed they are handling a case reported as a sexual assault, linked to an old event, and it is currently under investigation. Authorities have stated that the matter is being dealt with by detectives specialized in sexual violence and abuse cases, and due to the sensitivity of the investigations, no further details have been provided to the public. On the other hand, Ruby Rose has declared that she has officially submitted testimonies and relevant materials to the authorities and that, due to the rules of the investigative process, she cannot comment further publicly on the issue. She also emphasized that it took her nearly two decades to speak about her experience, linking this delay to the emotional impact and the alleged trauma she endured.
In initial reactions, representatives of Katy Perry have categorically denied the allegations made against her, describing them as false. So far, authorities have not reached any official conclusions, and the investigation is still ongoing.
The issue has sparked numerous reactions on social media, while further developments are expected from investigative bodies in Australia.
