Andrew Tate has called himself the most mistreated man in history alongside Donald Trump after criminal charges against him were dropped.
Three women, in their late twenties and early thirties, accused Tate of rape, sexual and physical assaults, including holding guns to women’s heads and strangulations with belts.
But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Monday that the legal test to bring criminal charges had not been met.
Reacting to the charges being dropped, the influencer posted on X: ‘Romania? No case UK? No case USA? No case 4 months in jail, 3 years locked in my house.
‘Endless media slander. 25million dollars stolen from me. Lawfare? – I’m one of the most mistreated men in history beside president Trump himself.’

‘We undertook a further review of a case file in relation to allegations of assault and rape between 2013 and 2015,’ a CPS spokesperson told Metro.
‘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 CPS 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.’
The women brought a civil case against Tate at the High Court after the Crown Prosecution Service originally decided not to prosecute in 2019.
Three of the British accusers were the subject of an investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary, which was closed that year.
