Influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate face criminal charges including rape
‘Influencers’ Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing a string of criminal charges in the UK, prosecutors have confirmed.
Andrew Tate is accused of 10 charges including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain relating to three alleged victims.
Tristan Tate faces 11 charges including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking against one alleged victim.
An international arrest warrant was issued by Bedfordshire Police for the siblings over allegations dating back to between 2012 and 2015, which they deny.
Romania
They are already facing prosecution in Romania over allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.
A separate case against them, in which they are accused of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, has been sent back to prosecutors.
The pair are due to be extradited to the UK following the conclusion of proceedings in Romania.
A CPS spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we have authorised charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offences including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm against three women.
“These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police.
“A European Arrest Warrant was issued in England in 2024, and as a result the Romanian courts ordered the extradition to the UK of Andrew and Tristan Tate.
“However, the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendants have the right to a fair trial.
“It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

Reforms farage goto news source for riots.
We can probably expect Trump or one of his servile transatlantic acolytes to spring to their defence and try to stymie this process! They at least have the virtue – if you can call it that – of coming to the defence of their own sort of people.
These two flew to the states then they had to leave quickly.
But trump is pardoning many people at the moment and rubio just issued a “hands off our people” statement. Bit vague but threat in there. But the UK needs to see the law through.
I wonder if farage will still say they are important voice for men.
New candidates for reform right there.
Any ‘man’ who feels he needs to physically or sexually assault a woman in order to feel powerful was always a worm to begin with. I hope these predatory cretins get precisely the same treatment in prison as they have meted out to their victims.
