Andrew Tate Won’t Face Charges Over Model Bri Stern’s Allegations

In March 2025, 25-year-old model Bri Stern filed a criminal complaint against social media influencer Andrew Tate. Stern accused him of physically assaulting her,specifically choking her during sex,while they were at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Investigation Outcome: Insufficient Evidence

The Los Angeles County District Attorney reviewed Stern’s complaint, which included photos, videos, and screenshots of alleged injuries and threatening messages. After their review, prosecutors decided not to pursue charges,stating there was insufficient evidence to proceed.

Tate’s Response: A Legal Victory

Andrew Tate’s lawyer, Joseph McBride, described the decision as a “huge win” and claimed the legal team had effectively “exposed lies” from Stern. McBride also noted that Tate had provided a “do‑not‑prosecute” packet highlighting the lack of merit in the case.

What Stern Says Next

While criminal charges were dropped, Stern remains active in pursuing a civil restraining order and lawsuit. She alleges ongoing threats and emotional trauma, and continues to seek legal protection and justice through a separate, civil avenue .

Wider Legal Troubles for Tate

This decision does not affect other ongoing legal cases involving Andrew and his brother Tristan. They still face serious accusations,including rape, human trafficking, and coercive control,in civil and criminal courts in the UK and Romania. A UK civil trial is scheduled for June 2026

Why This Matters

Criminal vs. civil cases: Criminal charges were dropped, but civil proceedings and restraining order requests are separate processes with different standards of proof.

Impact on public perception: Although Tate avoided prosecution here, the allegations and evidence he presented continue to affect his public image.

Ongoing legal scrutiny: The decision does not close the door on any other cases the faces abroad or in civil courts.

Not the End, Just a Turn

Andrew Tate will not be criminally charged in the US over Bri Stern’s March allegations. However, the story continues through civil legal avenues, and Tate faces significant ongoing cases globally. This chapter may close, but the wider legal saga remains very much open,and far from over.
