U.K. Authorizes Rape Charges Against Andrew Tate and His Brother

they certainly get around

LONDON — British prosecutors have confirmed that Andrew and Tristan Tate face 21 criminal charges in total, that include rape, assault and human trafficking.

It's the first time that Britain's Crown Prosecution has revealed the detailed charges, that it first authorized last year after a police service in Bedfordshire -- north of London --- provided it with a file of allegations dating back to a period between 2012 and 2015.

The two British-American brothers will face the charges once they are extradited back to the U.K. from Romania, where they currently live, but their extradition is still pending because they are still involved in separate criminal proceedings in Romania. They involve allegations of having formed a criminal gang to exploit women.

Andrew Tate, 38, a former kickboxing champion turned self-styled misogynist influencer is accused of 10 offences tied to 3 alleged victims. The charges include rape, human trafficking, a form of assault known under British law as "actual bodily harm", and a type of prostitution for financial gain.

His younger brother Tristan, 36, has been charged with 11 offences, including rape and trafficking, that are tied to a single alleged victim.

They are probably scared of the backlash from MAGA deplorables.
