McHaffie added, “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and these defendants have the right to a fair trial.”

- Andrew Tate “was previously charged with 10 counts, including three counts of rape, four counts of actual bodily harm, two counts of human trafficking and one count of controlling prostitution for profit.”
- The previous charges “relate to three victims. The new charges relate to another four victims.”
- The function of the CPS is “not to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make an impartial, independent and objective assessment as to whether it is appropriate to submit a charge for consideration by the criminal court.”
- The CPS assessment of any case “is in no sense a finding or implication of an offense or criminal conduct. It is not a finding of fact, which can only be made by a court, but rather an assessment of what it may be possible for Crown prosecutors to prove in court in accordance with the Code.”
