Four women accuse the Tate brothers of rape, coercive control, and assault and battery in a civil case, which the brothers deny. The Tates are seeking a stay in the civil proceedings, arguing it could prejudice their criminal case. Hertfordshire Constabulary has reopened an investigation into sexual abuse allegations against Andrew Tate, involving ten devices seized during the original investigation.
More than half a million chat and SMS records, photos, video and audio files, and other messages are in police possession. Andrew Tate faces 10 criminal charges including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for gain. The CPS has charged the Tates with 21 criminal charges in a separate case, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking.
Andrew Tate is bringing a legal challenge against the CPS, with a first High Court hearing due on June 23. Mrs Justice Lambert said there would be a 'regrouping' in July and potentially a more substantive hearing before Christmas.
