Overview

• The Crown Prosecution Service said a further review of allegations from 2013 to 2015 did not meet the legal test for prosecution after assessing evidence from Hertfordshire Constabulary.
• The decision relates to claims by four women who are suing in the High Court over alleged sexual violence, including choking, belt assaults and a gun being pointed at a face.
• The CPS confirmed it has informed all parties and offered to meet the complainants to explain its reasoning in detail.
• Andrew Tate denies wrongdoing, and his solicitor Andrew Ford welcomed the CPS conclusion as showing no realistic prospect of conviction.
• This ruling does not affect separate CPS‑authorised charges announced in May against Andrew and Tristan Tate based on a Bedfordshire Police file, nor the ongoing Romanian case and agreed extradition sequencing.
