Police watchdog investigating handling of Andrew Tate sex abuse allegations
The police watchdog probes alleged misconduct by Hertfordshire officers after abuse reports against Andrew Tate were closed in 2019; a civil trial is set for June, lawyers say.
- The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating Hertfordshire Constabulary's handling of sexual abuse allegations against Andrew Tate, following a four-year investigation the force closed in 2019.
- In September last year, the Crown Prosecution Service declined to authorize charges, determining the legal test was not met; that decision now faces a victim's right to review.
- Three officers face misconduct investigations, including a former detective constable who faces gross misconduct proceedings for "alleged failures to properly investigate" the case.
- Tate's three alleged victims, joined by a fourth woman, have filed claims in the High Court alleging sexual violence, with the civil trial scheduled for June this year.
- Tate and his brother Tristan Tate face separate proceedings in Romania, while Bedfordshire Police secured a European arrest warrant for other rape and human trafficking allegations pending Romanian legal conclusion.
