Fourth British woman accuses Andrew Tate of sexual violence trends now

Another British woman has claimed she was a sexual assault victim of Andrew Tate, claiming the social media influencer choked her until she lost consciousness.

The 30-year-old becomes the fourth woman in a civil claim for damages against Tate, after three others said in April that they intended to commence proceedings.

Former kickboxer Tate is currently under house arrest in Romania with his brother Tristan amid accusations of organised crime and human trafficking, which he denies.

Now, the fourth woman has come forward to claim she faced threatening behaviour from Tate after he 'strangled' her until she lost consciousness while they had sex.

The woman, who was a university student aged 20 at the time of the allegations in 2014, said she met Tate on a night out in his hometown of Luton, Bedfordshire.

She said they had consensual sex but this became violent when Tate choked her - and when she awoke, he was still having sex with her, which she did not consent to.

The woman told BBC Newsnight that she had consensual sex with Tate before they met again at her flat a few months later, when a consensual encounter turned violent.

She said while they were having sex, Tate put his hand on her throat and 'strangled me' - and that when she came round 'it was a bit confusing at first', and he was 'still having sex with me'.

The woman also claimed she was subjected to violent threats by Tate, including threatening to kill her, adding: 'He kept saying: 'I own you, you belong to me'.

'All throughout the night he was being fairly aggressive and saying horrible things.'

But a spokesman for Tate insisted that all sexual acts he had been involved in had been consensual - and that he does not condone violence towards woman.

The woman did not report the incident to police at the time, saying that she only realised she had been sexually assaulted about six years later when she described what had happened to her friends.

She has now joined three other British woman aged in their late 20s and early 30s in a planned lawsuit against Tate, as they pursue civil claims for damages.

They all claim they were victims of sexual violence by Tate between 2013 and 2016, when he lived in the UK.

But Tate's spokesman told Sky News: 'We understand there is a lot of interest surrounding Andrew at the moment; however, he vehemently denies these accusations and does not condone violence of any kind towards women.
