Andrew Tate will not face criminal prosecution over allegations from 2013–2015

Andrew Tate will face no criminal charges over allegations made by four women who are suing him in a High Court civil case.
The women have accused the former professional kickboxer of sexual violence, including grabbing one by the throat on several occasions in 2015, assaulting her with a belt and pointing a gun at her face.
Mr Tate's barristers told an earlier court hearing that there was "total denial of wrongdoing".
On Monday the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the legal test to bring criminal charges had not been met.
A spokesman said: "We undertook a further review of a case file in relation to allegations of assault and rape between 2013 and 2015.
"Following careful consideration of the evidence provided by Hertfordshire Constabulary, we concluded that our legal test for prosecution was not met, and that no further action should be taken.
"We have informed all parties of our decision and offered to meet with the complainants to explain our reasoning in more detail."
Mr Tate's UK solicitor Andrew Ford welcomed the decision.
He said: "Despite much external pressure the evidence speaks for itself in this case and the Crown Prosecution Service have rightly confirmed the evidence is inadequate to provide any realistic prospect of conviction.
"The reason the CPS made this decision will become obvious when the evidence is played out during the civil proceedings.
"We are glad that this is yet another example of a potential criminal case against Andrew Tate falling by the wayside."
