Katie Price's stepdad, who raised the model from the age of four, is to appear in an East Sussex court accused of raping a 51-year-old woman.
The 52-year-old allegedly carried out the attack in the early hours of the morning, on March 22.
Sussex Police confirms: "A man has been charged with the rape of a woman in Worthing in the early hours of Sunday (22 March).
"Paul Price, 52, a fence erector is due to appear at Worthing Magistrates Court on 5 January 2016.
"The charge alleges that the 51-year old woman was raped at about 1am to 1.30am that morning, in Worthing. The woman and the man are known to each other."
And the news has reportedly hit mother-of-five Katie hard, with a source telling The Sun:
“She is obviously very upset. This has come as a shock as this is the man who has been her father."
Katie's mum split from her father Ray Infield when the 37-year-old was four, and married Paul who is father to Katie's half sister Amy.
