The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced additional counts against both individuals following new evidence from Bedfordshire Police. Andrew Tate now faces seven further rape allegations, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, 19 charges related to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan Tate is charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging trafficking.
The alleged incidents occurred between July 2010 and August 2017 according to the CPS report. Malcolm McHaffie, head of the CPS's special crime division stated that these charging decisions bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven. The brothers were arrested just moments before a bareknuckle boxing event they were scheduled to attend.
A newly surfaced clip shows Andrew Tate appearing to try and discreetly pass his phone toward a bodyguard while U.S. Marshals placed him in handcuffs outside the James L Knight Center. The arrest video has sparked online speculation over a moment when Andrew appears to grab his phone and extend it toward a security guard before being detained.
The brothers have been vocal proponents of hypermasculinity on social media platforms where they boast millions of followers. They moved to Romania in 2016 but were arrested there in December 2022 on similar charges which did not proceed due to legal irregularities. The brothers are expected to appear in Miami's federal court early next week.
In a statement, Tate's attorney Joseph McBride blasted the new charges levied against the brothers. 'The world knows Andrew and Tristan Tate are innocent. Their enemies know it best of all. That is exactly why they have been attacked,' the statement said. McBride slammed the new charges as a 'political hit' aimed at countering the brothers' defamation case in the US.
The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will ultimately decide whether the Tates are extradited to the UK. The Tate's camp expressed confidence that the extradition request will be denied, with McBride stating 'America does not do Britain's political dirty work.'
