While social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate remain in custody in Florida as they challenge an extradition request from the United Kingdom, newly unsealed court documents reveal more details from prosecutors about the latest sex-crime charges the two are facing, including rape and sex trafficking.
The federal filings, released Monday night, detail complaints made by women to British officials against both brothers about sexual and physical abuse, including claims the women were choked, sometimes to the point of passing out, and raped.
The brothers, who appeared in federal court in Miami on Monday, have denied all allegations against them and their attorneys have vowed to fight against the extradition request. One of those attorneys has publicly urged the Trump administration to intervene.
After getting their start on reality TV in the UK, the Tate brothers have gained notoriety over the years by promoting increasingly misogynistic content online, racking up followers — and criminal charges.
Andrew Tate, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and self-described misogynist, has built his platform around toxic masculinity and become a prominent figure in the so-called manosphere — a digital ecosystem associated with the alt-right and hate that is populated by overtly misogynist podcasters and influencers.
