The Aporia · Katie Price believed teenager allegedly raped by ex-husband was ‘afraid’

She told jurors she confronted Hayler about the allegations but he denied them. The trial is ongoing, with Hayler denying the charges and accusing his ex-wife of orchestrating a campaign against him after their divorce in 2021.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
