What have Andrew Tate and his brother been charged with?
Video footage shared online shows the siblings being handcuffed and detained by US Marshalls in Miami. Bedfordshire Police confirmed that the charges authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) came from their investigation into the Tate brothers, dating back some 16 years.
The so-called ‘manosphere’ figureheads have racked up a barbaric set of charges between them, with both facing counts of rape, sex trafficking, and assault. However, a majority of the offences – 42 in total – have been levelled against Andrew Tate, and include some harrowing details.
As per the Bedfordshire Police – whose jurisdiction includes Andrew Tate’s hometown of Luton – the 39-year-old is facing 19 charges for ‘offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography’, adding a sinister and sickening new dynamic to their rap sheet.

Despite their vile brand of misogyny, the Tates held no shame in previously positioning themselves as ‘protectors’ of women and girls, often blaming ‘woke culture’ and ‘the LGBTQI+ movement’ for offences committed against them. However, they may soon have to consider adding their own names to that list.
The statement from Bedfordshire Police follows below:
“Andrew Tate, 39, is being charged with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.”
“Tristan Tate, 38, is being charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.The offending is alleged to have taken place between July 2010 and August 2017.”
“The CPS has decided to bring further charges against brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate in relation to four further victims… Following their arrest in the US, prosecutors will seek extradition in relation to the original 21 charges and the further charges which we have decided to prosecute.” | Bedfordshire Police
