Andrew Tate High Court trial adjourned as police reopen investigation into alleged sexual abuse 05.05.2026

The Independent

Andrew Tate’s civil trial at the High Court in London has been adjourned after Hertfordshire Constabulary reopened a criminal investigation into sexual abuse allegations made by four women. The women are suing the former kickboxer for claims including assault, threats with a gun, and grabbing by the throat between 2014 and 2015. The criminal case was previously concluded in 2019, with the Crown Prosecution Service stating the legal test for charges was not met, but the police reinvestigation began in March, led by the Major Crime Unit of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police, involving ten devices and extensive digital evidence. Tate’s barrister, Vanessa Marshall KC, argued for a pause to prevent risk of denied access to material, while the women’s barrister, Anne Studd KC, called the adjournment unfortunate. Judge Mrs Justice Lambert scheduled a regrouping in July and a potential hearing before Christmas. Tate is also separately challenging the CPS over Operation Moonwalk, where he faces ten unproven charges.
