Hertfordshire Police Reopen 2014–15 Rape and Assault Probe Into Andrew Tate

A watchdog probe into alleged past failings prompted the move.

Overview

  • Hertfordshire Police said they have restarted a criminal investigation into allegations of rape and sexual assault linked to Andrew Tate from 2014 and 2015.
  • The earlier Hertfordshire inquiry ran for about four years and was closed in 2019 without charges, according to multiple reports.
  • The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating three former officers for possible gross misconduct over claims the case was not properly examined.
  • The three complainants, joined by a fourth woman, have a civil case set for June 2026, and Tate continues to deny all allegations.
  • Separate criminal proceedings in Romania are ongoing, and Bedfordshire Police have issued an international arrest warrant in a different UK case that could lead to extradition after the Romanian matter concludes.
