The police watchdog is investigating a force’s handling of sexual abuse allegations made against influencer Andrew Tate.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it was probing Hertfordshire Constabulary’s response to reports made by three women after their case was closed in 2019 following a four-year investigation.
A former detective constable could face gross misconduct proceedings for “alleged failures to properly investigate” the case, the IOPC said.
The watchdog added that two former detective sergeants, who supervised the investigation, are being probed for alleged misconduct.
