Two women describe being attacked by the controversial social media influencer when he lived in Luton.

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.

      This is a fair question… If it was just one or two accusations. But that is not the case here Tate is a monster and his last moments should be pure suffering and fear. Fuck him and fuck his life.

        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.

      Accusations from multiple sources that are credible enough for action to be taken.

      Tater top drank from his own kool-aid and thought by moving to Eastern Europe, he could get away with this.

      if you read the article, the moron texted one of his victims talking about how he raped her. yes, there’s evidence.

      Would there be any evidence that could satisfy you, or are you just looking for a reason to dismiss this?

    Not entirely surprising considering their openly misogynistic views.

    Shame so many people use him as a role model, he’s very dangerous.

    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.

        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.

        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

    It’s pretty pathetic that an “alpha male” cannot pull a girl.

      It’s because they’re alpha version. They haven’t gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They’re only alpha.

      don’t compare Tate to Assange. Tate is a common criminal who is dumb enough to go on camera and made howto videos on human trafficking and then tried to sell them to kids.
