Two of the claimants worked for Andrew Tate's webcam business in 2015, while the other two were in relationships with him in 2013 and 2014. Three of the women reported, the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to bring criminal charges.

They are now seeking damages "arising from the assaults, batteries, and infliction of intentional harm", the court papers state. One of the women, referred to as AA in the documents, alleges Tate threatened her with a gun in her face while calling himself "a boss" and a "G" and adding: "You're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay."

Tate denies doing this, claiming that he only started calling himself "Top G" in recent years. AA says Tate "threatened [her] daily" while she was working for him, and describes two alleged incidents in which he "grabbed her by her throat and pinned her up against the wall, so she was unable to move".

Tate also denies this happened. A second claimant, BB, alleges Tate "made it very clear that she was 'his', and if anyone else spoke to her, he would kill them".

BB's describes being "forced to barricade herself inside the bathroom while the Defendant [Tate] threatened to 'beat the s*** out of' her". Tate denies this allegation. He describes his relationship with BB as "loving and affectionate until shortly before she ceased to work for the business".

The third woman, CC, says that she was attacked by Tate at his home in November 2013 after he said “I’m just debating whether to rape you or not”.

Tate denies the allegation and says they had sex and the "encounter was entirely consensual". A hearing is due to take place at the High Court next week.

In his defence lodged in response, Tate argues that the women cannot now take legal action against him because too much time has passed, and potential evidence would have been lost. "Sienna", the fourth woman involved in the civil case, was not part of the group that reported Tate to the police.

She told the that sex was initially consensual with Andrew Tate. "But then, during sex, he started to strangle me. I passed out, and he carried on having sex with me," she said. Tate denies strangling Sienna claiming that he "may have put a hand on her neck but there was no restriction of her breathing".

All four women say they have developed mental health problems as a result of their alleged experiences with Tate. Lawyer Matt Jury of McCue Jury & Partners, who is representing the women, told the BBC his clients had "been denied justice by the police and CPS, while watching Andrew Tate's influence grow".

"They have been left with no other choice but to bring their case in the High Court to finally bring Tate to account," he said.
