Four women who suggest the social media influencer Andrew Tate for sexual abuse and compulsory control in search of £ 100,000 ($ 200,000) in compensation, the Supreme Court of London heard.
Papers submitted last week accuse the online influencer, a self -written hatred, of rape and sexual violence, and of aiming a gun on the face of a woman.
Lawyers who act for women in the civil case say that this is the first of its kind in the UK.
The four women, who have been given anonymity, claim that Mr. Tate abused them between 2013 and 2015.
Court Papers seen by the AFP news agency that Mr Tate, a former professional kickboker, took a woman by the throat several times in 2015. He is also accused of attacking her with a belt.
In judicial archives, the women’s lawyers also say that a woman was threatened with a gun as Mr. Tate said: “You are going to do what I say or there will be a hell to pay”.
A second woman claims that he strangled her without her permission during sex in 2015.
A third accuses him of raping her in 2013, and a fourth said that Mr. Tate had drunk her until she fainted during sex, and then kept having sex and threatened to kill her.
Two of the women say they had an intimate relationship with him, while two worked for Mr. Tate’s online webcam activities.
Mr. Tate, 38, denies the allegations. Mr. Tate’s lawyer called the claims a “manufacture” and a “package of lies”.
The British-American internet personality has become one of the greatest figures of the so-called “manosphere” and has previously described himself as a misogynist.
The civil case comes after the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided not to take any action in 2019.
The lawsuit had its first provisional hearing at the British Supreme Court on Tuesday prior to a trial that would probably start at the beginning of 2027.
Judge Richard Armstrong on Tuesday told a provisional hearing of the civil case that the claimants were “sought compensation, probably reach six digits”, and the trial could last three weeks.
Mr. Tate Vanessa Marshall’s lawyer said that her client intended to prove during the trial in his defense.
He was not obliged to attend the hearing on Tuesday personally.
The lawyer Anne Studd of the claimants said that “this will be the first occasion (compulsory control) was brought for the Supreme Court in a civil context”, to decide whether it comes down to a deliberate encounter of damage according to English law.
Mrs. Studd described compulsory control in court applications as “a form of care and manipulation where the victim is becoming less and less able to respond to what could be seen as a normal way”.
Mr. Tate and his brother Tristan are being investigated in a criminal case in Romania for accusations of forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, trade in minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money white that they deny.
The couple flew to the US in February after the Romanian prosecutors had lifted a travel ban and flew to Romania last month to fulfill legal obligations.
