Sibling influencers face new charges of rape, sex trafficking, and "offenses relating to indecent images of a child," the Crown Prosecution Service said Sunday

Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami Saturday as British authorities sought their extradition on new charges of rape, sex trafficking, and “offenses relating to indecent images of a child.”

The sibling social media influencers were taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals on a sealed warrant that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed Sunday morning.

“We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offenses including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offenses relating to indecent images of a child,” Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement.
