Andrew Tate faces U.K. trial over physical and sexual abuse allegations
Andrew Tate faces a U.K. trial for alleged physical and sexual abuse, in an alleged coercive control case lawyers say is the first of its kind
Andrew Tate, an internet personality and self-described misogynist, faces a 2027 trial in four women’s civil lawsuits for alleged physical and sexual abuse, in a case their lawyers say is the first of its kind in Britain about allegations of coercive control.
The four claimants, who have been granted anonymity, allege Tate subjected them to physical or sexual violence between 2013 and 2015. Two say they were in an intimate relationship with Tate, while two worked for Tate’s online webcam business.
The women’s lawyers say in court filings that one woman was threatened with a gun as Tate said “you’re going to do as I say or there’ll be hell to pay,” while another alleges Tate strangled her until she was unconscious during sex.
Tate, 38, denies the allegations, with his lawyers saying in his written defense that the claims are false and that all sexual activity was consensual.
The lawsuit had its first preliminary hearing at the High Court on Tuesday ahead of a trial likely to start in early 2027.
