Details of the case against Tate brought by four UK women are seen for the first time by BBC News.

Some of the allegations in the documents seen by the BBC include that Tate:

  • Raped and strangled a woman who was working for his webcam business in 2015

  • Assaulted another woman who was also working for his webcam business at the same time

  • Strangled both of the above women so often that they developed red petechiae - spots from burst capillaries - in their eyes, a common side effect of asphyxia

  • Told a third claimant “I’m just debating whether to rape you or not” before raping and strangling her

  • Strangled a fourth claimant, whom we are calling Sienna, during sex until she lost consciousness, and then continued to have sex with her
