Katie Price‘s ex-husband Kieran Hayler has arrived at court after being charged with the rape and sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl while married to the star.
The personal trainer, 38, is alleged to have committed the offences between June and October 2016 – in the middle of his marriage to the ex-glamour model, 47.
The pair wed in 2013 and went on to have two children before splitting in 2018.
The alleged victim is not a member of either Ms Price or Hayler’s families.
Hayler cowered from the heavy snow as he arrived at Crawley Magistrates’ Court this morning wearing a thick black coat.
Sussex Police said last month: ‘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.’
A legal representative for Hayler said: ‘Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in its 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.’
Hayler, who has also worked as an actor, stripper and reality star, first met Ms Price in 2012 before he proposed on Christmas Day of that year.
They married at the Sandals Royal Bahamian luxury resort in the Bahamas in January 2013.
This was followed by a wedding blessing ceremony at the Rookery Manor Hotel in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset in March of the same year.
The newlyweds then took a glamorous honeymoon to the Maldives.
