Andrew and Tristan Tate Face 21 Criminal Charges in UK Including Rape, Human Trafficking

Andrew and Tristan Tate, known as conservative influencers, have been charged with multiple serious crimes in the U.K., including rape, human trafficking, actual bodily harm, and controlling prostitution for gain. Andrew Tate faces 10 to 11 charges related to three women, while Tristan Tate faces 10 to 11 charges connected to one to three women, with a total of 21 criminal charges authorized by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The charges stem from allegations dating back to 2012-2015, and the brothers deny all wrongdoing. Both hold dual American and British citizenship and are currently involved in separate ongoing criminal investigations and prosecutions in Romania, where they face charges including trafficking minors and money laundering. The CPS has issued European Arrest Warrants and ordered their extradition to the U.K., but legal proceedings in Romania must be resolved first. The CPS emphasized the right to a fair trial and cautioned against any online commentary that might prejudice the case.
