Hertfordshire police will reinvestigate rape and sexual assault allegations against influencer Andrew Tate from 2014-2015.
LONDON: A British police force will reopen an investigation into rape and sexual assault allegations made against controversial influencer Andrew Tate.
Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed it would reinvestigate allegations made by women relating to offences between 2014 and 2015.
This marks the latest in a series of probes into the British-US citizen, known for his divisive social media content.
The force, based north of London, had previously investigated sexual offence allegations from three women for four years.
That case was closed in 2019 without charges being brought by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The CPS stated the claims were fully investigated but did not meet its legal test for a realistic prospect of conviction.
The three women involved welcomed the decision to reopen the investigation.
“It is long overdue for Hertfordshire Constabulary to reopen the investigation into our allegations of rape, sexual abuse and assault by Andrew Tate,” they said in a statement.
The women are also suing Tate in a civil case alongside a fourth woman, with a High Court trial set for June 2026.
Separately, Tate and his brother Tristan face multiple other legal challenges in the UK and Romania.
In Romania, where they have been based, they face allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.
In the UK, they are accused of tax evasion and money laundering.
Bedfordshire Police, covering their hometown of Luton, is investigating separate rape and human trafficking allegations from different women.
That force secured a European arrest warrant, with a Romanian judge ordering the brothers’ extradition to the UK after proceedings in Romania conclude.
The Tate brothers deny all accusations against them.
Their lawyers said last year they would return to the UK to face sexual offence allegations after the Romanian proceedings.
