Andrew Tate Criminal Case Dismissed By UK Prosecutors For Lack Of Evidence

The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has dropped criminal charges against Andrew Tate, stating the evidence did not meet the legal threshold for prosecution regarding allegations of rape and assault between 2013 and 2015.

The decision, confirmed on Tuesday, follows a further review of evidence provided by Hertfordshire Constabulary. "Following careful consideration of the evidence provided by Hertfordshire Constabulary, we concluded that our legal test for prosecution was not met, and that no further action should be taken. We have informed all parties of our decision and offered to meet with the complainants to explain our reasoning in more detail," CPS spokesperson confirmed.

The allegations stem from claims by three women in their late twenties and early thirties, who accused Tate of rape, physical assault (including strangulation with a belt), and threatening one with a gun. The CPS had previously decided not to prosecute in 2019, leading the women to pursue a civil case.

Despite the dismissal of criminal charges, the civil case brought by three women against Tate remains active and is scheduled to begin in June 2026.

Reacting on a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tate said he is "the most prosecuted man on earth," and a victim of "lawfare" and "endless media slander." He reiterated this sentiment in a post on X following the CPS decision, declaring, "I’m one of the most mistreated men in history beside President Trump himself."

Tate accused globalist left-wing prosecutors and European governments of targeting him with drawn out "lawfare" based on baseless accusations which, he claims, are aimed at intimidating him into silence. The outspoken internet personality has a large online following especially among young people across the world.

In May 2025, Tate and his brother Tristan were charged with a separate set of criminal offences, including rape, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution, related to four women. He told Piers Morgan that prosecutors have refused to reveal to him the identity of the accusers or any detail about the accusations.

Tate's legal team maintains that all sexual activity was consensual and that the allegations are false. Prominent social media commentators and legal experts have spoken out against the frivolity of the charges, with many close to the brothers pointing out that women practically "throw themselves at the Tates," and many of the women have since defended the brothers publicly.
