🚨 BREAKING: UK watchdog has launched an investigation into how police handled sexual abuse reports linked to Andrew Tate in 2015.
The three women who made the reports of the alleged violent sexual back in 2013 - 2015 said:
"We are grateful that the IOPC has taken steps to investigate potential issues with how our reports were handled.
"From the beginning, all we have wanted is for our cases and the evidence to be fully and fairly considered by those with the power to do so."
An IOPC spokesperson told the BBC:
"We are independently investigating the actions and decision making of Hertfordshire Constabulary following multiple reports of sexual offending by a man, which was first reported to the force in 2015.
"Our investigation began following a voluntary conduct referral from the force in December 2023.
"As part of our investigation, we are investigating a former detective constable for potential gross misconduct, relating to alleged failures to properly investigate, and two former detective sergeants at the level of misconduct, who supervised the investigation."
The three women have taken their claims to the High Court, alongside a fourth woman. This trial will take place on June 22nd.
According to court documents, Tate is accused of holding a gun to a woman's face before saying "you're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay".
One of the claimants also alleges Tate assaulted her with a belt, and grabbed her by the throat on multiple occasions, in 2015.
According to the documents, other alleged victims said he strangled them during sex while saying things like "I'm just debating whether to rape you or not" and "who do you belong to?".
