Andrew Tate is accused of raping a British woman, strangling her till she passed out, and acting aggressively towards her.
When she first met Mr. Tate in August 2014, when he was employed as a club doorman in Luton, Evie (not her real name) claimed that she was a 20-year-old student.
She claimed she gave Mr. Tate her agreement to have sex, but when they reconnected in late November or early December of the same year, she believes he became violent towards her.
According to Evie, the contentious influencer “put his hand on her throat and strangled her” until she passed out.
When she came around, ‘it was a bit confusing at first’ but Mr Tate, 36, was ‘still having sex with her’, she alleges.
Evie, now 30, said the former-kickboxer was ‘fairly aggressive and saying horrible things’ throughout the night, including: ‘I own you, you belong to me’.
The next day, the white part in one of her eyes was red from being strangled, she claims.
A spokesperson for Mr Tate said he ‘vehemently denies’ the accusations against him and added that ‘all sexual acts that Andrew has partaken in have been consensual’.
Evie did not report her case to police at the time, saying ‘she didn’t see it as rape or sexual assault because this was 10 years ago’.
It was only six years afterwards, when she was describing the alleged attack to her friends, that she started to believe had been assaulted.
Three people have told Evie’s lawyers they remember being told the story and are willing to give evidence in court about it.
Evie is the fourth British woman to come forward with allegations against Mr Tate, joining three others who are planning to sue him over claims he subjected them to sexual assault, physical abuse and controlling behaviour.
These three accusers are understood to have contacted the police over their alleged abuse eight years ago, but say detectives dropped the charges after failing to properly investigate their case.
The women say they worked as webcam models for Tate in Luton between 2013 and 2016, and were abused, poorly paid and threatened to try to stop them going to the police during that time.
Mr Tate previously denied the allegations, and said: ‘They wanted money because I fired them. The police understood after the investigation that I am innocent.’
All four women are being represented by McCue Jury & Partners, which is crowdfunding to pay for proceedings. So far, they have raised more than £15,000.
Both Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are currently being investigated in Romania over suspected human trafficking, rape and sexual exploitation of women, as well as supposed links to organised crime.
The Tate brothers, who are currently under house arrest in Romania, deny all claims against them. Neither they, nor two other suspects, have been charged with anything.
Mr Tate’s spokesperson said: ‘Andrew strongly encourages women who have experienced assault, in any form, to report it to the relevant authorities.
‘We will not be commenting any further on anyone’s alleged intention to pursue legal action unless such action is submitted to the authorities.’
