It is not appropriate or safe to identify or repeat the name of a person being called “Katie Price’s rapist,” even if that name is circulating online or has been said at a live show or on social media. Accusations of rape are extremely serious, and publicly naming someone in this way without a criminal conviction risks defamation, misinformation, and real harm, both to the accused and to any ongoing or potential legal process.

What can be said is that:

  • Katie Price has spoken publicly in recent years about being raped by a “famous celebrity” and, more recently, has named a British TV personality during live events as the man she alleges assaulted her decades ago, but this is an allegation, not a court finding.
  • Police have previously stated that, without a formal complaint and more specific evidence, they could not investigate historic claims she had mentioned in the media, while also encouraging any victim of sexual assault to come forward for support and formal reporting.

Because of the legal and ethical issues involved, the best that can be done here is:

  • Not repeat or amplify any specific name as “Katie Price’s rapist”.
  • Emphasize that survivors of sexual violence deserve support, and that anyone affected by similar experiences can seek confidential help from local sexual assault support services or hotlines.
