Kickboxers-turned-social media \u2060stars Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested on new charges of rape, bodily \u200bharm and human trafficking by the US Marshals Service on Saturday. <\/p>\n
\u200bBritain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it would seek the extradition of the brothers and bring more charges against them, after it identified four additional alleged victims. The brothers will face charges in Britain relating to alleged offences between July 2010 and August 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have decided to \u200bprosecute \u2060Andrew and Tristan Tate \u200cfor further offences, including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual \u200bexploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,\u201d said Malcolm McHaffie, head of the Special Crime Division at the CPS. <\/p>\n
The Tates, who are dual US-British citizens, have denied any wrongdoing. The brothers were arrested in Miami, according to reports. <\/p>\n
Andrew Tate, 38, is a former professional kickboxer and self-described misogynist who has amassed more than 10 million followers on X. He is due to face \u200btrial \u200cin Britain this year in a civil case brought by four women \u2060for alleged physical and sexual abuse. <\/p>\n
The four claimants allege Tate subjected them to physical or sexual violence between 2013 and 2015. Two say they were in an intimate relationship with him, while two worked for his online webcam business. Tate denies the allegations. In his written defence, his lawyers said the claims are false and that all sexual activity was consensual.<\/p>\n
Andrew and Tristan Tate were indicted in 2022 on charges of participating in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania and exploited them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kickboxers-turned-social media \u2060stars Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested on new charges of rape, bodily \u200bharm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[141622,249,251,250,6101,9498],"class_list":["post-345700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-digital-team","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-standard","tag-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
