Kieran Hayler, the former husband of Katie Price, is on trial over an allegation that he raped a 13-year-old girl, according to The Irish Sun. The court was told he allegedly pinned the girl down during the incident, the Daily Mail reports. He denies the accusation.
The Irish Sun reports that Hayler is said to have told the girl afterward that he "may get in trouble" for what happened. The Sun carries a similar account, in which he is alleged to have said he "might get in trouble for this."
Hayler has accused Price of setting him up, according to the Daily Mail. He is contesting the charge rather than admitting any wrongdoing.
The case centres on a single alleged victim, a 13-year-old girl, and on statements attributed to Hayler in the aftermath of the alleged attack. The reporting does not specify the court or the date of the alleged offence.
Coverage of the trial has been led by British and Irish outlets, including The Irish Sun, The Sun and the Daily Mail, all of which reported on the proceedings on Monday.
What to watch next: further evidence and testimony as the trial continues, and how the court responds to Hayler's claim that he was set up.
