Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - 3 Sex Abuse Cases in 2 Countries: Influencer Andrew Tate Busted
Episode Date: June 1, 2024Kickboxer and media influencer Andrew Tate charged with rape, human trafficking and more. He's now facing three sex abuse legal battles in two countries. Tate and his brother were taken into custody... in Romania, where they live. Prosecutors say the Tates and two associates formed an organized criminal group to groom and sexually traffick women in the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Romania. The indictment names seven women who say the Tate brothers recruited them with false promises, including love and marriage, but instead took them to buildings where they intimidated them, watched over them constantly, forcing them into debt and pornography.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
A notorious misogynist, woman hater, alleged sex trafficker, and online influencer with a huge social media following.
Don't ask me why people follow this guy.
Andrew Tate and his creepy brother detained in Romania and handed a UK arrest warrant.
Looks like the Brits did what the U.S. was afraid to do.
I'm Nancy Grace. was afraid to do.
I'm Nancy Grace.
This is Crime Stories.
Thank you for being with us here at Crime Stories and on Sirius XM 111. That's right.
The online influencer Andrew Tate, with literally millions of followers, go figure, was detained and handed an arrest warrant issued by the British government.
Tate, 37, and creepy brother Tristan Tate, detained.
They were detained on claims of sex aggression.
That's what they call it in the UK.
And a case dating all the way back to 2015.
Now, a Romanian court, where the two were hiding out out has to make a, quote, pivotal decision whether they're going to execute the warrants issued by the UK Westminster Magistrates Court.
They darn well better if they want to keep relations up with the UK. Four women reported Tate. Four women.
Not one, not two, not three, but four report Tate to authorities for sex violence and physical abuse.
For some reason, the Crown decided not to prosecute him.
These victims had to turn to crowd funding to cover their legal costs. The four female victims handed
over their evidence about the horrific acts of violence they say they endured and just waited.
But time passes and they were told the UK authorities would not prosecute them.
Now don't forget Tate is charged in a separate case with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
Why does this guy have millions of men followers?
Freaks!
How did the whole thing begin?
Possibly the most misogynistic person I have ever encountered.
Discussing tactics on how to lure sex trafficking victims.
These texts, messages, and more have now been leaked,
and it's all spewing from the empire built by Andrew Tate,
a sex trafficker, according to LA law enforcement.
First of all, take a listen to this.
Most people know Andrew Tate for his online content,
which has been called misogynistic.
But what most people don't know is that he also runs this secretive all-male society, The War Room, which he says
is a kind of self-help society that helps you become a better man. It costs £6,000 a year to
join. What we uncovered is that actually within The War Room, they're actually teaching men methods
for grooming women into online sex work. And we've identified from the leaked messages you referred to
at least 45 potential victims of this grooming method.
Breaking News disgraced influencer Andrew Tate has been indicted
and will face charges of rape, human trafficking,
and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
According to officials, three others will also be charged
in connection to human trafficking, including Andrew's brother Tristan.
A spokesperson for the Tate brothers confirmed their indictment to NBC News. Three others will also be charged in connection to human trafficking, including Andrew's brother Tristan.
A spokesperson for the Tate brothers confirmed their indictment to NBC News.
Both brothers deny all allegations.
The two were remanded into custody back in December before being released under house
arrest in March.
I can't stop someone from being misogynistic.
That's within them.
But I tell you this much.
We can stop sex trafficking. And
what's so amazing is he's not trafficking women in secret. They're not
in the back of massage parlors and nail salons with their papers stolen from
them unless they have sex with strangers and then they're
pimp making the money. This is not some 13 or 14 year old girl that has been
stolen and she's being hidden in some secret apartment somewhere in LA far far
away from home being beaten and drugged. This is right in our face. This is
happening right online. I really don't even know where to start. Take a listen
our friends at BBC. Prosecutors have filed formal charges against the controversial influencer
Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan and two associates. The charges include rape, human trafficking and
forming an organized crime group, as well as illegally accessing a computer system and violence
against one of the alleged victims. The indictment court says that at the beginning of 2021, the four defendants
formed an organized criminal group to commit human trafficking in the United States and Britain.
We know there are seven alleged victims who are apparently allegedly recruited by false promises
of love and marriage by the two Tate brothers. Love and marriage?
My rear end?
That is not what this is.
This is not about love and marriage.
You were hearing from our friends at BBC as well as NBC.
This is not about love and marriage at all.
Guys, before I go to senior investigative reporter for DailyMail.com, Caitlin Becker,
joining us, I want you to hear our cut 15 from the dangerous rise of Andrew Tate. BBC, listen.
In the leaked messages that we got access to, we were able to see that up to 45 women were
recruited into working on webcam, potentially groomed using this method without their knowledge. We saw specific examples of men grooming specific women. And in the documentary,
we spoke to two of those women, one in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and one on the west coast of
the U.S., who both alleged that they personally were groomed by senior members of Andrew Tate's
war room. That's not all. Take a listen to our cut 10. Lucy Williamson, BBC. The prosecution also
says that women were forced by the defendants to make pornographic content online and alleges that
some women did not control the money they made and were fined for crying on camera or for not
working hard enough. A spokeswoman for the Tate brothers said that they vehemently denied the
serious allegations against them.
Joining me in All-Star panel to make sense of what we know right now,
straight out to senior investigative reporter for the DailyMail.com, Caitlin Becker.
Caitlin, thank you for being with us.
Forty-five known alleged victims.
There are actually victims in multiple countries.
That's not unusual. Do you remember
the initial search for Natalie Holloway? We were, not only us, but many other journalists
and law enforcement were looking at the islands nearest to Aruba, including the Netherlands,
Antilles, thinking she had been removed from the
island for sex trafficking that is a part of sex trafficking you remove the
victim from their home from their money from their cell phone from their
driver's license their ID and they're stuck with you and nowhere to go and
they're being beaten and drugged and they're taken away from their home. The fact that this conspiracy to sex traffic is in many countries, it's hard for some people to believe.
But this is the way sex trafficking works.
Who is Andrew Tate, Caitlin?
Well, Nancy, it's the way sex trafficking works, but it's also the way the Internet works.
And Andrew Tate's claim to fame is on the Internet. I mean, he had a short lived stint on British Big Brother, but really he became known in online circles for being kind of a king of misogyny and teaching men how to be men, which involved subjugating and harassing women.
He had very popular online courses.
He had one that called something Hustlers, and that was more of his public one.
And then this War Room that you've been hearing about was his private one.
But he also had very popular social media accounts where he propagated this type of bullying and misogyny.
And as you heard, essentially, allegedly grooming.
And he garnered thousands and thousands and thousands of followers.
And for War Room particularly, you had to pay the equivalent of what is about $8,000 to join.
So he's then profiting off of this
and corralling like-minded men
to listen to the types of sort of vile information
that he's spewing.
So the conspiracy goes far and wide.
You not only have Andrew and Tristan Tate,
the brothers who were at the head of this,
sort of the head of the stake,
but you also have all of those war room members.
You can imagine how far this can go.
I mean, we have alleged victims.
There are seven in the indictment and they are from all over the world, several in Europe,
at least one in the United States.
All of their identities are being protected.
We are also hearing potentially 45 others from these leaked
telegram messages that the BBC obtained. But Nancy, those messages are only for one year.
You have to imagine in one year, if there's 45 potential victims,
I can't even fathom how many that could be.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
Believe it or not, this perv, Andrew Tate, has nearly 9 million followers on the social media platform X, also known as Twitter.
He repeatedly claims prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a conspiracy to, quote, silence him.
OK, when you start talking about conspiracies, you'll lose me.
Remember, everybody said the LAPD had a conspiracy against O.J. Simpson to frame him for double murder.
B.S.
Like you think one of those cops wouldn't take a million dollars for a tell-all book about the so-called
conspiracy to frame OJ Simpson? Yeah, it's my understanding and my experience. It's too
difficult for people to keep the piehole shut in a conspiracy. But even social media is shunning him.
He's been banned from multiple social media platforms for misogynistic woman-hating views and hate speech.
What more do we know about Andrew Tate and his freaky brother? I know this, they're rolling in
money. Romanian authorities seized 15 luxury cars, 14 designer watches, and cash in several currencies, that's weird, worth around $4 million.
These two women haters and alleged sex traffickers are making a mint online.
Look, this isn't just a single instance.
Over $300 million, U.S US dollars, was seized.
That is the tip of the iceberg with how many people this guy is controlling and how many
women are being subjected to sex trafficking, forced pornography, being raped, being beaten. In his chats, screenshots purported
messages from the quote war room. Tate describes women as quote targets and assets and explains
how to isolate and manipulate women. In one message, this woman hater describes how he isolated one woman
until she, quote, lost her support networks at home and he kept her in his compound, quote,
and this tastes like a dirt sandwich to me. The real goal is for her to agree to never go anywhere without me, not even her hometown.
I need her working. This is from his screenshots. He appears to seek help from his associates to
force one woman to post sexually explicit content on OnlyFans. He tells his followers he'll be making the play tonight.
Since she moved to his compound, she's been fed but nothing else.
These are his words.
She's broke.
She can't go home.
She can't leave the house.
Man, I sound almost evil.
Guys, this is such a huge operation.
Take a listen to our cut to Lucy Williamson. The charge of human trafficking is an umbrella charge. And within that, there are several counts against each of the four defendants.
We're also getting some information from the organized crime unit about the assets that have been seized, properties, cars, luxury watches, but also more than 300 million US dollars in cryptocurrency.
And we're told that there are separate charges that are still under investigation that may
be the subject of a separate indictment in the future.
Think about it.
How many times have I told a jury, don't turn away.
Think about what's happening around you.
Think about these facts.
Young women being forced into sex.
Rate.
Think about it.
Do you have a daughter, a mother, a sister?
Think about her being forced into sex, isolated from her family, to the tune of this guy making
at least $300 million.
Nancy, may I?
I hear someone jumping in.
Who is it?
Nancy, this is Dawn Schiller.
Hi.
Guys, this is Dawn Schiller joining us, training director for the L.A. County Project with
Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking.
She's the best-selling author of The Road Through Wonderland,
Surviving John Holmes. Dawn, please jump in. Go ahead. Thank you. Thank you. I also call myself
a lived experience expert in and that's what we do. We go out and teach and train around human
trafficking. So when I hear the word grooming a lot, what it really applies to is the recruitment. Grooming is recruitment under the umbrella of what is human trafficking.
And luring somebody in on their vulnerabilities based off of needs for love and attention,
whatever that is, because they didn't have it at home, is really a classic form of recruitment
into where the victim is then now kept in by force, fraud and coercion.
And coercion is all types of things.
The fraud is this promise of love that never turns into love.
It's always like having to force you into doing something.
Guys, I'm looking online at Andrew Tate's leaked text.
Wait a minute.
This is about maximum difficulty you experience in the business.
If we all agree on that, I'll give you a play by play of what I try. I do this for every girl
I get to work. If you guys see the value, you guys can use your bottom bitch to do whatever G is doing. You are never going back to your hometown
even to visit without me. You understand? That is part of his technique. These are his words,
not mine. It goes on and on and on. One defendant accused of raping one woman twice
using intimidation, constant surveillance surveillance and claims that the victims were
in debt. Take a listen to our cut eight from BBC. Prosecutors outlined the testimony and the
evidence against Andrew Tate. It includes transcriptions of text and audio messages,
which appear to show how the alleged trafficking operation was managed and the apparent coercion,
control and abuse of women by Mr. Tate and his
co-defendants. In one transcribed exchange, Andrew Tate appears to coerce an alleged victim into
group sex using abusive language. His brother Tristan is also quoted in prosecution transcripts,
allegedly talking about slaving women for 10 to 12 hours a day. Slaving women from 10 to 12 hours a day.
Okay, to Dr. Joni Johnston, forensic psychologist and private investigator,
author of Serial Killers 101 Questions True Crime Fans Ask.
Dr. Joni, thank you for being with us.
Explain what's happening here.
Well, you know, I think the scale or the potential scale of what is going on is mind boggling. But the
actual techniques that we're hearing about, I mean, how many times have we heard these, Nancy?
You know, just isolating people from their loved ones and people they care about, the abuse,
the coercion. I mean, we've heard this in a million different ways.
It's the way to isolate and control your victims.
And it's something we've heard over and over again.
Guys, you think this hasn't happened before?
It's happened so many times before.
Sex cults.
And it's always women and children who are subjugated, who are raped, who are sodomized,
who are forced into peeping out for other guys. Take a listen to our cut 19. We're talking about
NXIVM. Listen. Allison Mack is due in court facing sex trafficking charges after being
accused of involvement in helping to recruit women as alleged sex slaves for a secret sorority within an organization called NXIVM
based out of Albany, New York.
Mack gave a testimonial for the group.
When I first came, I had on the surface
something that seemed to be like the perfect life
for a pretty good life.
Keith Raniere, the leader of NXIVM,
is facing charges including sex trafficking
and forced labor conspiracy related to that secret sorority.
Cheryl McCollum joining me,
founder and director of the Cold Case Research Institute.
You can find her at coldcasecrimes.org.
Cheryl, thank you for being with us.
NXIVM is a US-based sex cult
where people were actually being branded and beaten
right here under our nose, including celebrities.
The only thing different here with Andrew Tate is he's rubbing our face in it.
It's right here on the Internet.
He's going out to the most expensive restaurant he can and videoing his celebration after
getting to walk free on this. Nancy,
I think some terminology here is going to be important. Terminology? Yes. My rear end,
how is terminology going to put this guy behind bars? Terminology, what does that matter to me?
Because they need to understand who he is. They keep using words like grooming. Who's they?
Who's they? Today on the show, people have said grooming.
That implies over time, listen to me very carefully, there are three types of pimp.
There's the CEO pimp, there's the Romeo pimp, and there's the gorilla pimp.
The CEO pimp is all about money.
He only cares about money.
She's an object.
He's going to make money.
He owns her. The Romeo pimp may tell her, hey, you're my wife. You're my woman.
Put his name on her neck. Tattoo her as property. But she believes they're together. Then you've got
the gorilla pimp. He's going to bust you in your face, shoot you up with heroin, and you are a
sex slave in 15 minutes. And here's the thing. The gentleman that is doing all of this, he can go from a CEO pimp to a gorilla pimp
or a Romeo pimp to a gorilla pimp. And that's what you're seeing here. He promised them love
and marriage. And the next thing they know, they're beaten, laying on the cement floor,
working eight hours a day with no break. And when you say working eight hours a day, what you mean is enduring rape after rape after rape after rape after rape.
And the pimp gets the money.
Does the arrest of Andrew Tate and his creepy brother spell the end of the so-called manosphere?
You know, like hemisphere, but manosphere.
The controversial, that's one way to put it, influencer Andrew Tate
reportedly will be extradited to the UK.
This, after grainy footage from police, shows a man dubbed the, quote,
king of toxic masculinity being arrested in the dead of the night along
with his creepy brother and hauled into a Bucharest court in handcuffs.
Within hours, a judge approves the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK, where
they now face charges of sex aggression in a case that dates back to 2015.
But the judge says the Tate brothers won't actually be sent to the UK
until they face trial in Romania on separate charges of human trafficking,
rape, and forming a criminal group to exploit women.
Tate, now 37, describes himself as a misogynist.
He's a British-American social media influencer, a former professional kickboxer,
and has around 9 million followers on ex-formerly Twitter.
Of course, many of them are just schoolboys. Hello?
Multiple women in multiple countries accuse him of rape, sex assault, and trafficking,
and are bragging about the crimes on social media. Where's the U.S. in all of this? You want to tell
me he has not exploited women from the U.S.? But let's go back to the
beginning. To you, Caitlin Becker, senior investigative reporter, DailyMail.com,
could you please explain? Obviously, I'm not doing a good job, and I accept that. You can do
much better than me. Explaining what kind of hate and vitriol Andrew Tate spews?
What does he say?
Well, first and foremost, Nancy, just to sort of put the pimp question to bed.
He, sorry for the really poorly timed pun there too, he himself had a course called PhD in the war room.
This is where the conversations that you were reading came from.
And PhD stands for Pimpin' Hoes Degree.
So he was doing this very much in plain sight.
You know what?
You are so polite.
I am not.
PhD.
Pimpin' Hoes Degree.
That's what he calls women, ladies, whores.
Pimpin' Whores Degree. That's what he calls women, ladies, whores, pimping whores degree.
Now, if he were just, those were just words.
I can't prosecute somebody for words unless they're terroristic threats.
But these aren't just words.
Where do you think he's getting $300 million plus more?
Women are being raped and subjugated and trafficked because of Andrew Tate's cult-like members that he creates.
Go ahead, please, Caitlin Becker.
Well, on top of that, Nancy, with the money, he essentially ran a pyramid scheme with his Hustlers University.
That was his more public platform.
It was 50 bucks a month.
And he essentially gave people advice on how to be a better man and how to get wealthy
and how to control women.
And then he would have those members go and recruit other members.
So he's running this sort of pyramid scheme on one side that I think at one point had
something like over 100,000
subscribers, in addition to this other war room, which was certainly more nefarious. And we know
from those leaked text messages that they spoke about women in just the most degrading terms.
And they spoke about actions with women, about how they wanted to basically enslave them,
how they wanted them to not have any control, like you said, very cult-like, very much cult-like,
not have any control over their finances, not be able to control what they did, what they wore,
what they eat, who they saw, and also separate them from their families. So those are sort of
the actionable things that he's accused of doing. But what it comes down to is he had a lot of these women allegedly performing online on something
like OnlyFans, which is another subscription-based service, and different kinds of pornography sites,
which are other subscription-based services. So he would allegedly get the money in from that
while forcing these women for 10, 12 hours a day to
perform these sex acts against their will. And these can be done anywhere because everything
is online. Cheryl McCollum, I need you right now to help me explain. Then I'm going to go to our
other all-star guests. First of all, a renowned international attorney is joining us, Greg Algren and Lee Reber, incredible forensic detective.
Cheryl, I'm not making it clear, I don't think.
I need you to help me.
I cannot expect everyone in this room or everyone listening right now to understand the outrage that I'm feeling. I think you have to go and you have to either be a sex assault victim yourself, which guess
what?
You'd be really surprised about the people, you know, that are sex assault victims that
have never mentioned it.
You'd be very surprised unless you are a sex assault victim or have worked with sex assault victims or you have gone and you have seen for yourself.
The lives of these women in the back of the nail salon, in the back of the the massage parlors, in the apartments, the houses where they are beaten and drugged and raped by multiple men a day and their lives are torn apart and they are never the same.
The beatings, the humiliations, these women, these girls just go numb.
And while I often say, yeah, you can go on, you can go forward in their life. Yeah,
you can, but they are forever wounded. Their psyche is forever messed up. Help me, Cheryl.
I can't describe the stench, the smell, the anguish, the numbness that these women are living through. Right now, while we're talking
about which word to use, they're being raped and sodomized and beaten right now, Cheryl.
Nancy, I think you're doing a beautiful job, but I know for us on the street level in law
enforcement, it is so difficult when you find a location and you kick that door in and you see somebody that's about 12 years old
and they're scared to death to come to you. They're scared to death to talk. They will not
give the person's name up. They will not tell what's been happening. They don't want to be
reunited with their families. Everything in their life is upside down. And when you're talking about trying to help somebody and, you know, bring them back home and get them to a place where they can maybe even go back to school, it's almost impossible.
Now, Cheryl, hold on.
I want to talk about grown women.
Okay.
And yes, everything you just said was right. And it's like the ladies that I work with at the Better Women's Center. They're so beaten and beaten down and drugged.
And it's horrible.
I mean, think about it.
It's not much different for us if she's 21 or 35.
Everything has been flipped for her.
The paranoia is real.
The drugs they were given them is real. The beatings are
real. So you are so afraid to go against that person. It doesn't matter what somebody in law
enforcement says, what somebody in your family says. You believe this person that's been beating
you, that's been drugging you, that's been sexually assaulting you is still in control of you,
even if they've been taken to jail. This is Dawn Schiller again.
I don't think I am a survivor of all of that. That is exactly what I went through. I went through
that with John Holmes. I went through that with almost six years of being hidden, being beaten,
being addicted to drugs, being forced into prostitution, being forced into crime. I did
all of that. I know that trauma is a life sentence. So I feel you and
I hear you on that on a big level, on a big level. And I do care about these women and I understand
what they're going through. What he's doing, I agree with you 100% is absolutely egregious,
that he's just throwing it in people's faces is even more insulting to survivors and the victims
who are still out there scared to death to speak up. You don't know you're a victim when you are coming out of that. You've been
brainwashed into believing that you did it to yourself, that you consented to all of that.
That's part of the tactic that they use.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. crime stories with nancy grace tate actually rose to fame when he was kicked off the british version of our tv show big brother
back in 2016 now this was after the release of a video that appeared to show him attacking a woman
he claims it was edited and that it's a quote lie to make me look bad. Yeah, right. I'm
going to believe you are my lying eyes. Chew on that, Tate. He's been banned from other social
media platforms like Insta, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube. For some reason, he's still on Twitter
slash X. Now, briefly, Twitter, aka X, did ban Tate because he wrote women should bear, quote, some responsibility, quote, for being sex assaulted.
OK, yeah, but then he was reinstated.
Why? Why, Musk?
Why, Elon Musk, was he reinstated?
Tate has videos with the hashtag Andrew Tate that have been watched literally billions.
That's billion with B as in brother on the TikTok platform, making him one of the most viewed figures spewing his hatred.
Greg Algren is joining us as well as Lee Reber.
Greg, high profile international lawyer with the US-MX law group.
Listen to this. More of the messages and the misogynistic hate spewed by this alleged sex trafficker.
This is in his room.
Instructs members to quote, punish victims that would be women for transgressions by
having her get our name tattooed on her.
One group leader called a general describes how he hit a woman in the head with her own
keyboard when she complained
about something. The woman who worked for him then went in the room and worked seven hours
without a break. It goes on and on and on about how to beat and control women to perform pornographic acts, group sex, many online, many on screen.
Greg Algren is joining us.
Greg, a lot of what I know from these alleged messages of Andrew Tate's, I can't bring myself
to repeat on the air.
But let me ask you, what can the U.S. do about it? Because there
is, there are so many victims here, I believe, including one victim whose name has somehow been
leaked and all these a-holes working for Tate or working under Tate have actually started trolling
her and sending this woman death threats.
I mean, what are we going to do about it? And what can we do about it?
Sure.
So the situation is just it's so outrageous that it cries out for legal accountability.
And I think, you know, eventually it has to catch up with all of them in a permanent way because Andrew Tate is a citizen by birth of the United States.
And so he can flee the country, but he can't lose that citizenship.
And that means the U.S., with its network of mutual legal assistance treaties, is always going to have an interest.
Perhaps it's a question of sort of capturing the attention of law enforcement,
but the U.S. has the means to catch up with him wherever he is
and ensure there's some legal accountability.
So it needs to happen.
A lot of times it's very, very slow. It's bureaucratic,
but it's a process that is, it can be virtually impossible to escape from once it gets started.
So hopefully we'll see sooner rather than later that legal accountability,
there's a structure for it. It just needs to be engaged.
I want you to hear this. Andrew Tate, quote, told rape victim
he would get her pregnant, lock her away, allegedly find webcam workers that started crying
during sex acts on webcam and tried to coerce them into group sex.
And then they started crying.
And so he punished them.
This is his business that is making $5 million a month. One victim claims Tate tried to force her to have group sex and said,
shut up, whore, When she tried to object, there are hundreds and hundreds of pages of reported testimony
and evidence verbally, physically abusing these women.
One woman tells prosecutors Tate would rape her while holding her head so she couldn't
move and threatened to get her pregnant. I mean it goes on and on and on. He would take her clothes and shoes away
from her and continue to beat her. Shut up whore you will do as I say. I mean it
goes on and on and on and I'm reading you only portions of what I know. Many of these women apparently, Caitlin, are promised love and marriage.
And then they are transported, many of them to Romania, where they are gang raped, sex
exploited and subjected to physical violence.
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages of reported violence.
One victim reports a Tate coworker, a henchman, threatens to, quote, break her teeth that
she would end up in the morgue.
The women creating porn for Tate's brother's webcam business allege their income is controlled by the Tates.
They are fined or punished if they start crying during a sex act,
if they wipe their nose, if they take too long on a break.
It just goes on and on and on.
Book this guy, try him, and put him under the jail. That's just my advice. Goodbye.
