Tate Brothers to Face 21 Charges in UK, Including Rape and Human Trafficking

 

UK prosecutors have confirmed for the first time that Andrew and Tristan Tate will face a total of 21 charges, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking, upon their extradition from Romania. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed that the decision to charge the brothers was made in 2024, prior to the issuance of an extradition warrant.

 

The CPS said the charges relate to allegations originally investigated by Bedfordshire Police. Andrew Tate, a 38-year-old influencer and former kickboxer, is accused of 10 offences involving three alleged victims, including rape, causing actual bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for gain. His younger brother, 36-year-old Tristan Tate, is facing 11 charges tied to a single alleged victim, with the offences also including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking.

 

“These charges have been authorised following a thorough review of evidence presented by Bedfordshire Police,” said the CPS. “However, the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first before extradition can proceed.”

 

Andrew and Tristan Tate, both dual British-American citizens, were born in the United States but moved to Luton, UK, with their mother following their parents’ divorce. In recent years, Andrew Tate has gained notoriety online, amassing over 10 million followers on X, formerly Twitter, and frequently posting about his luxurious lifestyle involving fast cars, private jets, and yachts. He has also sparked controversy for describing himself as a misogynist.

 

The brothers were first arrested in Romania in December 2022 amid allegations of rape and human trafficking. They denied all charges and spent several months under house arrest. In August 2024, new accusations surfaced in Romania, including sex with a minor and trafficking underage persons, all of which the brothers also deny.

 

Their legal troubles in the UK escalated in March 2024 when they were detained in Bucharest after Bedfordshire Police obtained an arrest warrant tied to the UK allegations. The charges in the UK are alleged to have occurred between 2012 and 2015. At the time, the brothers issued a joint statement claiming they “categorically reject all charges” and are “very innocent men.”

 

A Romanian court ruled that their extradition to the UK could only take place after the resolution of ongoing proceedings in Romania. Subsequently, they were released from custody and, in a surprising move, prosecutors lifted a two-year travel ban. In February 2025, they flew from Romania to Florida aboard a private jet.

 

By March 2025, the brothers had returned to Romania, where they told reporters, “innocent men don’t run from anything.” They stated that they had registered with the authorities in Bucharest to demonstrate compliance with the ongoing investigation. While Andrew Tate did not clarify whether he planned to stay in Romania, he said he intended to prove his innocence both there and in the UK.

They have enough money , so go to a non-extradition country .

Why risk it all to fight bogus charges especially in a country like the UK.

What is bogus about the charges? And how does the British judiciary and CPS allow bogus charges to be brought exactly?

No one innocent ever gets sent to jail in the UK, and police never falsify charges.

I'm saying they are innocent until proven otherwise. The UK police are a bunch of woke bastards, who will throw someone in jail for posting an innocent comment on facebook.

Do you actually believe what you just wrote? I mean, seriously?  What "facts" have they spoken to "establishment lies" exactly? I'd love to hear your insight. Can you share some?

In case you missed it they have been charged with rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, controlling prostitution for gain and several other crimes.

But yeah, truthbombing lefty narratives. Got it. What a weird fantasy land you live in.

That is true, although it doesn't look good for them given that there was enough evidence for an extradition.

The police can't throw anybody in jail. Charges are only brought by the CPS and only when there is a body of evidence to support a case being brought. If the CPS deems the evidence weak they will not prosecute.

And NOBODY EVER has been "thrown in jail" for posting an innocent comment on Facebook. Nobody. That has only ever happened in your head.

All the charges in Romania didn't stick.

Now they are going to try it in the UK.

We know how judges are there , look at the bias in Tommy Robinson's cases.

[gargamon]

Lucky for everyone(other than them) that they are not charged in the US. Trump would obviously pardon them...

All I read is blah blah blah Tommy Robinson blah blah, waa waa waaa.

Try again using actual things and facts. I'll repeat the question for you so you can try, again, to answer it with words:

 

What is bogus about the charges? I guess you must have studied the evidence so please do share. And how does the British judiciary and CPS allow bogus charges to be brought exactly? And please don't cry about Tommy as he has nothing to do with this, just explain using your own words.

I think the Tate's problem is that they are so rich. They have so much money that they know they can't hide it. IF they were to do a runner, his accounts and assets would be frozen.

 

If he wants to keep his riches he has to go through the courts.

Rape is the charge least likely to be pursued by the CPS because of the nature of the crime. Only a very small percentage makes it to court and even fewer convictions secured. They have to be pretty damn certain to get an extradition together - from Romania where these two are facing pretty much exactly the same charges.

 

I'm sure they're looking forward to their day in court and are sure they'll be exonerated. Not.

The claim that the Tate brothers’ UK trial is biased based on their Romanian case outcomes and Tommy Robinson’s experiences is laughable if not so sad for your understanding. Romania’s case was sent back for procedural fixes, not dismissed, and new charges like trafficking minors are still under investigation, making it distinct from the UK’s 21 charges (rape, trafficking, 2012–2015).

 

UK courts evaluate evidence independently, with safeguards like appeals, and comparing unrelated cases like Robinson’s (contempt, fraud) oversimplifies complex legal processes. Why not focus on trial evidence rather than assuming bias from social media narratives or other cases, as each case stands on its own merits?

Explain how it is a set up.

Well they'd both be wrong and the would have plead innocent instead of both pleading guilty.

Connolly plead guilty to the offence of inciting racial hatred contrary to section 19(1) of the Public Order Act 1986.
