Meanwhile, Tate and his brother face ongoing civil cases in multiple jurisdictions, including a High Court trial starting in June over allegations including rape and trafficking.

The IOPC is examining potential misconduct by former officers involved in the original inquiry and may pursue gross misconduct proceedings for at least one former constable.

A fourth woman has joined a High Court civil case, with a scheduled case in June.

The Crown Prosecution Service previously said the threshold for criminal charges had not been met as of last year.

UK police reopen the rape and sexual assault investigation into influencer Andrew Tate, focusing on allegations dating back to 2014 and 2015 that were closed in 2019 after a four-year probe.

Three women raised the allegations with Hertfordshire Constabulary; the force has decided to reinvestigate due to earlier handling and gaps in the prior inquiry.

The police emphasize a renewed commitment to a thorough investigation of serious offences, regardless of when they occurred.

Victims’ representatives urge the renewed inquiry to be properly managed and to yield justice.

The victims welcomed the reinvestigation as overdue and hopeful for accountability, while Tate and his brother deny all allegations.

Civil claims at the High Court include allegations of rape and 2015 violence, with the CPS having previously declined criminal charges and a victim rights review underway.

IOPC and police officials state a commitment to thorough, proper investigations into serious allegations, regardless of timing.
