KATY Perry is at the centre of a police probe after Ruby Rose’s bombshell sexual assault allegations.
Victoria Police confirmed they are looking into the claims made by the Australian actress, who alleges the pop star assaulted her during a night out in Melbourne back in 2010.
A police spokesperson said: “Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.
“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD.
“As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
The alleged incident is said to have taken place at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne’s CBD while the pair were out together.
Katy Perry’s representatives have firmly denied the claims, labelling them “dangerous lies”.
They previously told Variety: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies.
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
Ruby Rose, now 40, reportedly filed a formal complaint – triggering the investigation.

But she has since gone quiet on the claims, revealing police have told her to stop speaking publicly.
She wrote: “Last update on this: As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports.
“This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.
“It’s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people’s experiences, but I’m not.
“This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now. And temporary [sic] move forward. I love you all so much.”
The shock claims first exploded online on Sunday when Rose accused Perry, 41, of sexually assaulting her during her twenties.
She said: “I’m now 40. It has taken almost two decades to say this publicly.
“Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
The Batman star spoke out in response to an article Complex Magazine had written about Katy going to Coachella.
In a series of graphic posts, Rose alleged the singer – who is currently dating ex-Canadian PM Justin Trudeau – assaulted her inside the club.
Writing to her followers on Threads, she said: “Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at Spice Market Nightclub in Melbourne.
“Who gives a s**t what she thinks.”
As fans reacted to Ruby’s shocking claims in the comments, the Orange is the New Black star shared more about the alleged incident.
“She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend’s lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her,” Ruby added.
The actress also claimed she initially tried to laugh off what allegedly happened.
“After it, I threw up on her. I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it.
“Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I did tell ya’ll she wasn’t a good persona. Instead I got attacked by everyone.
“The psychological manipulation was strong with that one,” Ruby admitted.
