Katie Price's ex-husband Kieran Hayler is found not guilty of raping a 13-year-old girl in West Sussex in 2016

After 14 hours and 55 minutes of deliberations, a jury of four men and six women at Lewes Crown Court acquitted Kieran Hayler, 39, of three counts of rape and one of sexual assault against a girl in West Sussex in 2016, along with four alternative counts of sexual activity with a child. Visibly overcome in the dock, he doubled forward as the judge discharged him.

Hayler told the trial Price had waged a 'smear campaign' with 'fabricated' allegations.

Price denied the claims and denied being 'angry and vengeful' towards her ex-husband.
