Andrew Tate is being sued in a civil case over allegations of sexual violence and coercive control, marking a potential legal precedent in the UK. The lawsuit involves four women, including two former employees and two ex-girlfriends, who claim he subjected them to violence and intimidation, including rape and threats with a firearm. This case is thought to be the first time coercive control is being examined in a civil context, aiming to clarify whether such behavior can amount to intentional infliction of harm. Tate vehemently denies the charges, asserting his relationships were consensual while facing a vast amount of evidence to review.
One woman has accused Tate, 38, of raping, strangling and whipping her with a belt in 2015, claiming he pointed a gun at her head to instill fear.
This case is significant because it is reportedly the first instance in a high court where allegations of coercive control are being examined in a civil context.
Anne Studd KC indicated that this civil case may establish important legal precedents, as it is the first to engage coercive control as intentional infliction of harm.
Tate's response to the allegations has been one of total denial, as he and his legal team claim the accusations are a 'pack of lies and nonsense.'
