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.

    I agree with Fuck that dude, but like… A “high profile” dude can have accusations coming out of the woodwork. I absolutely hate this dude but it would be unjust to send someone to prison over only accusations. I understand that sexual assault is damn near impossible to prove. I don’t know what the correct course is but I can’t justify punishment that may be unjust.

      The allegations surrounding tate are more extreme than epstein and he has many recorded instances of himself describing the methods. This is a case that in US court would probably be easier to prosecute.

        Fair enough. I don’t know much about it and the comments that I did read revolved around hearsay. As much as I am not a fan of that dude, it’d be a crime in itself to lock someone away without evidence. If he’s incriminating himself by self admission, then that’s on him.

          I get the desire to respond to current events but there’s nothing wrong with being a bit curious about why people don’t like the guy. Its weird to have so much grace for some random dude and none for the people criticizing him.

          The media has sort of tossed him in with the “people who upset feminists” camp but like mostly its his “howto commit human trafficking” type videos that are generating criminal lawsuits.
