Andrew Tate’s R@pe Accusers Welcome His Recent Arrest

Andrew Tate’s arrest for new sex assertions has been welcomed by four British women who are filing a civil lawsuit against him, claiming they were raped by him.

The group, which wishes to remain anonymous due to legal concerns, claims that throughout their employment for Tate, 37, and his webcam business, they were mistreated by the self-proclaimed misogynist.

His persistent denials of the allegations prompted an initial investigation by Hertfordshire police, which resulted in three arrests before the case was closed.

Following Tate and his 35-year-old brother Tristan’s arrest in Bucharest, Romania, the ladies released a statement on behalf of Bedfordshire police, who are looking into further allegations of sexual assault.

They said: “We are four British women bringing a civil case against Andrew Tate in the UK for allegations of rape and assault.

“We are making this joint statement in response to the news that Tate has been detained in Romania at the request of the UK authorities for extradition to England to face criminal charges.

“We understand that this extradition request was made because of criminal complaints of sexual assault made by other women, and not because of the complaints we made almost a decade ago.

“While we welcome the news that the UK authorities have, at last, done the right thing and are seeking to prosecute Tate, we are still disappointed and distressed that the CPS chose not to prosecute Tate in 2019 when it had the chance for the crimes, we allege he committed against us.

“After a four-year investigation, and despite the Police believing that the evidential test for prosecution had been met, this decision by the CPS allowed Tate to travel to Romania where he has since been charged with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

“This might not have happened if the CPS had taken our complaints seriously. Last year, we asked the CPS to reconsider its decision. It refused to do so.

“We must ask, was this a political decision? If the CPS had agreed, how would it then explain to the Romanian authorities that it had effectively let Tate go on to travel to their country to allegedly commit serious criminal offences; leaving Romania to foot the bill for the subsequent investigation and prosecution, which may end costing millions?

“This is, we believe, a question that the CPS must be asked and should be the subject of an immediate inquiry.

“The extradition request comes during the week in which a report following an independent examination into how the CPS prosecutes rape will be published.

“The Guardian has reported that specialist rape lawyers are “obsessed” with the credibility of victims and use victim-blaming language. Unfortunately, this mirrors our own experience with the CPS.

“We are hopeful that the women who are the subject of Tate’s arrest warrant today will have their case handled and prosecuted differently to ours so that they get the justice they deserve.

“We are thinking of all the women Tate has allegedly hurt since his move to Romania whose suffering might have been prevented if the authorities in the UK had acted sooner.

“We thank our lawyers, McCue Jury & Partners, who have been campaigning for the UK authorities to prosecute Tate, even if not for the crimes committed against us, and who wrote to the British police last week to urge them to immediately seek a warrant for Tate’s extradition to the UK following rumours of him planning an escape. We will continue to fight for justice.”

The brothers were taken into custody by armed police late on Monday night in order to carry out a European Arrest Warrant, and they appeared in court in Bucharest on Tuesday.

The judge decided during the hearing that they might be extradited, but only after their case on unrelated allegations of rape and human trafficking in Romania is heard.

Andrew Tate stated, “We are very innocent men and in time everybody is going to see that. We are excited to finish this judicial process and clear our names,” when speaking outside the court.

The brothers, who “categorically reject all charges,” will continue to be subject to Romanian court restrictions that would prohibit them from leaving the nation.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
