A police investigation is underway in Australia after Katy Perry was accused of sexual assault by “Batgirl” and “Orange Is the New Black” actor Ruby Rose. The pop star has denied the allegations, calling them “reckless lies.”

The Victoria Police said in a statement to Variety: “Melbourne sexual offenses and child abuse investigation team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating [an alleged] historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010. Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
