Independent Office for Police Conduct examining how Hertfordshire police treated three women’s allegations
The police watchdog is investigating a force’s handling of sexual abuse allegations against social media influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it was investigating Hertfordshire constabulary’s response to reports made by three women after their case was closed in 2019 following a four-year investigation.
A former detective constable could face gross misconduct proceedings for “alleged failures to properly investigate” the case, the IOPC said.
The watchdog added that two former detective sergeants, who supervised the investigation, are being investigated for alleged misconduct.
