In a statement shared with ABC News, Victoria Police said Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are 'investigating a historic sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.'
'Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne's Central Business District,' the statement continued. 'As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.'
Rose first made the assault allegation on Sunday, in response to a Complex article about Perry attending Coachella that was shared on social media. 'Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne,' Rose wrote in response to the post. 'Who gives a s--- what she thinks.'
In a subsequent Threads post, the actress stated that she was in her 20s at the time of the alleged assault.

'It's going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people's experiences, but I'm not,' she wrote. 'This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now. And temporarily move forward.'
In the wake of Rose's allegations, a representative for Perry said in a statement to ABC News on Monday, 'The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous and reckless lies.'
