British-American influencer Andrew Tate, known for his misogynistic statements, is also threatened with legal consequences in Britain over new allegations of abuse. Three women accuse Tate of sexual assault and want to sue him for damages under civil law, The Guardian and broadcaster Sky News reported on Thursday, citing the plaintiffs and the commissioned law firm.

The women, two in their 20s and one in her 30s, accuse Tate of sexually abusing and violently treating them between 2013 and 2016, among other things.

The objective of the lawsuit is, on the one hand, to seek justice and reparation for the alleged victims and “to promote a criminal investigation into Tate’s crimes in the United Kingdom, with the hope that he will be accused and sentenced in the United Kingdom in addition to charges in Romania”. said the law firm McCue Jury & Partners, according to the “Guardian.”

After three months in custody in Bucharest, Andrew Tate and several suspected accomplices were released a few weeks ago and placed under house arrest. Tate is also accused of sexually exploiting young women.

A spokesman for Andrew Tate criticized the fact that the planned British lawsuit was first made public through the media before he or his legal advisers received any news about it. The 36-year-old also vehemently denies all the allegations.

Andrew Tate rose to fame in 2016 when he was kicked off Britain’s Big Brother show after a video broke of him beating a woman with a belt. He now has millions of followers on social media, where he continues to make misogynistic statements.
