What are the accusations against Andrew Tate? 

Tate and his brother Tristan were originally arrested in Romania in December 2022, having been accused of organised crime, human trafficking and rape. 

However, they were subsequently released from jail and placed under house arrest on April 1.  

Two Romanian women were also arrested along with the Tate brothers in December, after which Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism said in a statement it had identified six alleged victims in the human trafficking case.

The victims were allegedly subjected to 'acts of physical violence and mental coercion' and sexually exploited.

The agency claimed the alleged victims were lured with pretences of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while allegedly being coerced into engaging in pornographic acts for the financial gain of the crime group.

In response, Tate has claimed that Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and alleged their case is a political conspiracy designed to silence him.

Tate is also accused of raping a Moldovan woman, who he alleges followed him from London, in March 2022, which he categorically denies.

In January 2023, he told the Bucharest Court of Appeal that the alleged victim moved to Romania with him voluntarily in November 2021.

Tate claimed she filed a rape allegation nearly six months later when he refused to give her money to buy a house and become a TikTok star.

And in April this year, it emerged that Tate is reportedly facing the possibility of being sued by three British women who claimed he sexually abused them.

The legal team who are putting the allegations together, which it will make clear once they have the money to bring civil action against Tate in the High Court.

The women, now aged in their late 20s and early 30s, reportedly claim that Tate, 36, sexually abused them between 2013 and 2016, as the self-described misogynist ran an online sex firm from Luton, Bedfordshire.

An investigation by British police forces into complaints made by two women at the time resulted in no charges being brought against Tate, who repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

The British women looking to bring the claim against Tate say that they have suffered personal injury and psychiatric harm after alleged violent sexual and physical assaults in the UK.

They are being represented by law firm McCue Jury & Partners.

Has Andrew Tate been charged? 

The influencer has been accused of spreading misogynistic 'rape culture' content to audiences as young as 13 on TikTok, with Tate speaking about attacking a woman if she accused him of cheating. 

He has not yet been charged for any of the crimes he has been accused of, despite being under house arrest since April. 

In a recent BBC interview, Tate repeatedly dismissed the BBC's questions about allegations of rape, human trafficking and exploitation of women - and instead demanded to ask his own questions.

When quizzed about a testimony from a woman who has accused Tate of rape and exploitation, he responded by asking his own question and telling the BBC journalist: 'You're not the boss here because I've allowed you into my house.'

The interview then collapsed after Tate said he was doing the BBC a 'favour' by speaking to the broadcaster, resulting in the self-professed misogynist launching a scathing attack on the broadcaster.

He tweeted: 'The mainstream media which vilify me, beg me for interviews under the guise of balanced journalism. The Matrix is desperate.'

When asked about the allegations made against him, Tate told the BBC in the heated interview: 'I know the case intimately and you don't. I have seen all the criminal files and the evidence against me and you haven't.

'I know the truth of what happened and you don't. And I'm telling you absolutely and utterly, I've never hurt anybody, that the case that's been put against me is completely and utterly fabricated and I'm never going to be found guilty of anything.'

Tate then dismissed the testimonies of individual women who have accused the influencer of rape and exploitation. One British woman, referred to as Sophie to protect her identity, has claimed Tate slapped and strangled her to the point of passing out 'during rough sex'.
