Two women who say they were raped and strangled by the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate have spoken to the BBC about their experiences.

Another woman has alleged, for the first time, she was raped by Mr Tate’s younger brother, Tristan - also an influencer with millions of followers.

The Tate brothers, aged 37 and 36, currently face charges in Romania of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also charged with rape.

If found guilty, the two men could be jailed for more than 10 years. They strongly deny the charges against them.

Why haven’t these two anal cysts been tried yet? JUST GET ON WITH IT AND THROW THEM IN PRISON. I know that it takes time to put together a solid case, but damn.

He was arrested, tried, convicted, and then released by one of Trump's USAs only to get arrested and tried again decade later. Incidentally, Bill Gates got on a plane with Epstein in 2014, five years after his original conviction. I'm convinced the only reason Epstein eventually got put to a permanent end is that he ran out of money.

There really is no end to the amount of bullshit rich people can get away with.

Yeah not really either. Remember that these are lying assholes and a lot of the riches he was showing off was rented just to make people think they were uber rich

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

they're rich AND a lot of people who should be arresting and prosecuting him have likely committed sex crimes themselves.

And they got mad when he pointed it out but Romania is actually pretty corrupt, that's the whole reason they were there.

Please provide evidence for your accusations otherwise shut the hell up.

He is a disgusting individual who frankly deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison and you are excusing his crimes on baseless accusations. What is wrong with you?

nobody is excusing him - I'm pointing out there are lots of reports of police assaulting women. Its frequent enough most major US papers have an article on costs cities pay associated with settling these allegations.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

He's literally in prison assault and kidnapping already.

I know little about Romanian law, but due process generally means cases like this move very slowly.
