The mother of a teenage girl allegedly raped by Katie Price’s then-husband said she felt the former glamour model was “angry” about the allegation and “didn’t care” about her daughter, a court has heard.

Price’s ex-husband Kieran Hayler is on trial at Lewes Crown Court accused of three counts of rape and one of sexual assault against the then 13-year-old girl in West Sussex in 2016, all of which he denies.

Giving evidence in court on Thursday, the complainant’s mother said when she told Price about the allegations, “she was quite angry and I didn’t feel she was particularly upset for [the complainant]”.

She added: “I didn’t feel she cared about my daughter.”

The court heard the teenager told her mother a year after the alleged rapes that Hayler had “done everything to her” to which she was “shocked”.

The jury was told she tried to ask her daughter to explain but she said: “I can’t tell you any more.”

Asked if she questioned her further, she replied: “I didn’t because she was so distressed.”

The mother told the court she told Price about the allegations because she felt like she “had to”.

Asked how Price reacted, she said: “She was shocked and probably swore.

“I feel she was just angry and feeling revengeful towards Kieran.”

But the alleged victim’s mother said her daughter did not “want anyone to know” and they had to “respect her wishes”.

In court she said she and her daughter had fallen out after she told Price.

Asked if this was because she felt she betrayed her trust, the mother replied: “Yes, she probably didn’t want anyone to ever know and yes it did cause arguments.”

The mother said she noticed changes in her daughter’s behaviour including her becoming more “withdrawn”.

“My main concern was her washing, she would shower about four times a day and scrub her skin and it really worried me,” she said.

She told the court she asked her daughter why she was washing so often to which she replied: “I just feel dirty all the time.”

The complainant contacted the NSPCC in 2021 about the allegations which referred her to the police, prompting the investigation.

Her mother told the court about the day her daughter informed her she had reported it to the police, adding: “She still hadn’t told me exactly what had happened.”

The court heard after it was reported the two discussed the matter.

The mum said: “She said it made her feel sick and dirty thinking about it whenever she thought about what had happened.

“At the time she thought it was normal but looking back on it she realised it wasn’t because of her age and then she just felt dirty.”

Hayler has suggested his ex-wife had “launched a campaign” against him when their marriage ended, and the allegations formed part of this, the court heard.

He was married to Price at the time of the allegations, before the couple’s relationship broke down in 2018 and they divorced in 2021.

The alleged victim is not part of Hayler or Price’s extended families.

The trial continues.
