De-escalation: CPS declines charges against Andrew Tate
On September 29, 2025, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced that Andrew Tate will not face criminal charges related to abuse claims made by four women in the UK.
The CPS determined that the legal criteria for a criminal prosecution were not met, allowing Tate to avoid criminal charges despite the serious nature of the allegations.
Currently, Tate is involved in a civil trial where the four women are suing him for abuse, which is a separate legal process from criminal charges.
The decision by the CPS means that while Tate will not face criminal penalties, he still must contend with the civil lawsuit, which could result in financial damages if the women prevail.
The outcome of the civil trial is still pending, and it will determine whether Tate is held liable for the allegations made against him.
