Tate Brothers Arrested in Miami As U.K. Authorities File Sex Crime Charges

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, the online influencers known for their misogynistic views, were arrested by U.S.Marshals on Saturday in Miami in connection with an investigation into sex crimes in England, law enforcement officials in the country said.The brothers were detained “pending ongoing legal proceedings,” according to a statement from the police in Bedfordshire, a county outside London.

The police have been investigating the pair alongside other British and international law enforcement agencies for alleged crimes that include rape and sex trafficking.The arrests were the latest twist in a yearslong legal saga for the brothers, who came to symbolize the manosphere while being dogged by accusations of abusing women.The two men, and their lawyers, had previously denied the abuse allegations against them.Joseph McBride, an attorney for the brothers, said in a statement on Saturday that they “are innocent.”The new charges stem from alleged offenses against four more victims that took place between July 2010 and August 2017, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement on Sunday after the arrest.“These charging decisions followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police and bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven,” Malcolm McHaffie, head of the Special Crime Division at the service, said in the statement.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
