"We undertook a further review of a case file in relation to allegations of assault and rape between 2013 and 2015, a CPS spokesperson said. Following careful consideration of the evidence provided by Hertfordshire constabulary, we concluded that our legal test for prosecution was not met, and that no further action should be taken. We have informed all parties of our decision and offered to meet with the complainants to explain our reasoning in more detail."
"Despite much external pressure the evidence speaks for itself in this case and the Crown Prosecution Service have rightly confirmed the evidence is inadequate to provide any realistic prospect of conviction. The reason the CPS made this decision will become obvious when the evidence is played out during the civil proceedings. We are glad that this is yet another example of a potential criminal case against Andrew Tate falling by the wayside."
Andrew Tate will face no criminal charges over allegations made by four women who are suing him in a civil case at the High Court in London. The women accuse Tate of sexual violence, including grabbing one by the throat on several occasions in 2015, whipping her with a belt and pointing a gun at her face. Tate's barristers have issued a total denial of wrongdoing. The Crown Prosecution Service reviewed evidence from Hertfordshire Constabulary and concluded the legal test for prosecution was not met, offering to meet complainants to explain the decision. Three women reported Tate to Hertfordshire police in 2019 and that investigation was closed the same year.
