Controversial influencer Andrew Tate will not face criminal charges in the UK over sexual violence allegations made by four women, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed on Monday, September 29, 2025.
The women accuse Tate of a series of assaults between 2013 and 2015, including strangulation, whipping with a belt, and pointing a gun at one woman. While Tate denies any wrongdoing, the women are pursuing a civil case against him at the High Court in London.
The CPS said its review of Hertfordshire police’s evidence found that the legal test for prosecution had not been met. “Following careful consideration of the evidence provided … our legal test for prosecution was not met, and no further action should be taken,” a spokesperson said. The agency offered to meet the complainants to explain its decision in detail.
Tate’s UK lawyer, Andrew Ford, welcomed the outcome, arguing that the evidence was too weak to sustain criminal charges and saying the civil case would expose the “inadequacy” of the claims.
The civil case follows an earlier CPS decision in 2019 not to prosecute, after which three of the women took their complaints to Hertfordshire police. That investigation was also closed in 2019.
While Tate has described the allegations as “gross fabrications,” the High Court case will still proceed.
Separately, Tate faces far more serious challenges. In May 2025, the CPS authorised 21 charges against him and his brother, Tristan Tate, following an investigation by Bedfordshire police. Andrew Tate faces 10 charges — including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for gain — tied to three alleged victims. Tristan Tate faces 11 charges linked to one alleged victim.
The brothers remain subject to a European arrest warrant issued in 2024, though extradition proceedings were postponed.
