Tate Brothers Charged With 21 UK Offences

Andrew and Tristan Tate, dual British-US citizens and social media influencers, have been charged by UK authorities with 21 offences including rape, human trafficking, actual bodily harm, and controlling prostitution for gain, relating to incidents from 2012 to 2015. The Crown Prosecution Service authorized the charges following evidence from Bedfordshire Police, with Andrew facing 10 charges concerning three women and Tristan facing 11 charges involving one woman. Both brothers deny all allegations and are currently in Romania facing separate criminal proceedings for similar offences; their extradition to the UK will only proceed after Romanian cases conclude. A European Arrest Warrant has been issued for their extradition. The Tates, known for their misogynistic online presence, are also defendants in a UK civil lawsuit set for trial in 2027. Legal representatives for the alleged victims have welcomed the CPS’s decision and emphasize the importance of the brothers facing justice in Britain.
