The self-published memoir is titled “This Is Not Real Life.” Kickboxer and media influencer Andrew Tate is 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 traffic women in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Romania.

Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
It's not over yet for the allegedly horrific and misogynist Tate brothers.
As of tonight, a former alt-right influencer named Lauren Southern is accusing Andrew Tate
of sex assault.
I wish you luck.
I wish you luck, Lauren Southern, because you're
not the first to allege it, yet somehow miraculously they're still walking free.
I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. A former
YouTuber, Lauren Southern, accused the quote,
Manosphere influencer and alleged rapist,
Andrew Tate, of sex assault.
She's written a memoir called This Is Not Real Life,
and in it she says Tate assaulted her after they met
when she was just 22 years old.
Now she's released several chapters of her book
and it's on Substack.
And she says she released them because they, quote,
were not written with the intention of profiting off the incident.
Now in the excerpts from her memoir,
she describes traveling to Romania
with the British white supremacist Tommy Robinson
to pitch Tate and his henchperson, Brother Tristan,
to invest in their right-wing media startup.
Now, at first she says she and Andrew Tate went out to dinner
and he was flirtatious and charming. Her words, not mine,
because he looks like the devil to me. I don't know how anybody could think he was flirtatious
and charming, but that said, that's just me. Then she says things started to seem, quote,
off. Now listen, I've written it in books. I've had experts tell you a million times when something seems off.
Get the H-E-L-L-O-U-T, leave.
She said things seemed off.
Now, these are allegations made in a memoir.
These have not been proven in a court of law.
So Tate, again, is innocent until proven guilty.
I don't know why they let him back in the country.
That's what I don't know.
That said on with Southern.
She says the Tates, that's both of them,
invited her back to their compound.
Red flag, red flag, don't go in a compound.
Okay, don't.
It's bad enough to go to the guy's apartment
much less a compound with fences and locks.
No.
To discuss the possible investment.
But instead, they go to a nightclub
where after one cocktail and a shot, she threw up.
Ding, ding, ding.
You've had something slipped in your drink.
But of course, how should she know that?
She says, Andrew Tate then picked her up
as in physically picked her up,
put her in a car and took her back to her own hotel room
where he kissed her and she told him
she wanted to go to sleep.
She writes, I was extraordinarily tired. He wanted to go further, I guess that
means sexually. I said no multiple times and tried to pull his hands off me. She says she
attempted to fight back. He put his arm around her neck and strangled her unconscious. She
got enough consciousness back to pull at his arms. He strangled her again.
She then says, quote, I prefer not to share the rest. It's pretty obvious.
What more do we know about the infamous Tate brothers? And when, if ever, will they be stopped? 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, in a case dating all the way back to 2015. Now, a Romanian court, where
the two were hiding out, has to make a quote, pivotal decision whether they're
going to execute the warrants issued by the UK Westminster magistrate's
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 Ellie 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 pounds 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 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. 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 look at 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 organised 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 organised
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 Andrie Tate's war room. That's not all. Take a listen 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 Daily Mail..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 asked, 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 work, 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 a 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 who he's been profiting off of it and for wowing 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, Kate, the brothers who were at the head of this,
that sort of the head of the stink, but you also have all of those war room members.
So 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.
Get ready for a celebration of play like no other
at the all new LEGO Summer of Play event

Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
Now another woman in the long line of women claiming that Andrew Tate and or his brother have sex assaulted them. But
this happens in Romania.
There's not a lot we can do about it here,
but what more do we know about the Tate brothers?
And what, if anything, can be done here in the US?
This perv, Andrew Tate, has nearly nine 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.
Okay, 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? BS.
Why, 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 pie hole shut in a conspiracy.
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 four million dollars. These two women
haters and alleged sex traffickers are making a mint online. Look, this isn't just a single instance. Over $300 million dollars, U.S. 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 takes like, tastes like a dirt sandwich to me.
Quote, and this takes like 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
Rape 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 dollars. 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 LA County Project with Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking.
She's the bestselling 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
and that's what we do when 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 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 101 101 questions, true crime fans ask.
Dr. Joanie, 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 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 Nexium 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 Renieri, the leader of Nexium,
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.
Nexium is a U.S.-based sex cult where people were actually allowed 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 gonna be important.
Terminology?
Yes.
My rear end, how is terminology
gonna 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 groom.
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 fake 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 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 nine million followers on ex
formerly Twitter of course many of them are just schoolboys hello multiple women
in multiple countries accused him of rape sex assault and trafficking and are
bragging about the crimes on social media where's the US in all of this? You want to tell me he has not exploited
women from the US? But let's go back to the beginning. To you, Caitlin Becker, a 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' Hose Degree. So he was doing
this very much in plain sight. You know what he calls women, ladies, whores.
Pimpin' whores degree.
Now, if he were just, if 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.
On top of that, Nancy, with the money, he essentially ran a pyramid scheme with his
Hustler's University. That was his more public platform. It was 50 bucks a month. And they
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 a hundred thousand 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 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 guest.
First of all, our 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 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 and 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
family. Everything in their life is upside down.
And when you're talking about trying to help somebody
and 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.
But these women, it's like the
ladies that I work with at the Battered 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 beaten 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.
It's 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 tactics that they use.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
Back to the former YouTuber, Southern. She describes years later when she read an article
about other alleged assaults by Tate and says they were the same as what happened to her.
She also says the sex assault was the driving force when she decided to leave politics. Now the two brothers have been accused
of many, many crimes in Romania and they will face criminal charges in the UK including human
trafficking and rape. Andrew Tate is accused of pointing a gun at a woman's face and sex assaulting
an ex-girlfriend. What more do we know about the Tate brothers?
Greg Algren is joining us as well as Lee Reber. Greg, high-profile international lawyer with the
U.S.-MX Law Group. Listen to this. More of the messages and the misogynistic hate spewed by this alleged sex trafficker.
This is in his worm.
It strikes 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 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 US, with its network of mutual legal
assistance treaties, is always going to have an interest.
Perhaps it's a question of capturing
the attention of law enforcement.
But the US 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 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 five million dollars 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 co-worker, a henchman, threatens to, quote,
break her teeth that she would end up in the morgue. The women creating porn for Tate's brothers' 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.
Many people ask, how did Andrew and Tristan Tate
get back into the U.S.? We know that Florida launched a criminal investigation and to the
influencers, I guess you could call them that, they spew hate for women every day online,
Andrew and Tristan Tate. At the end of February the two fled to the US from
Romania where they were accused of human trafficking and accused of forming an
organized group to sex exploit women. Andrew Tate also accused of rape. Of
course they deny all the charges. Now the two were dual citizens in the UK and the US, and they have made millions of dollars off social media.
Online they're extremely controversial
with repeated offensive statements about women.
They have an American dad who worked
for the US Air Force in Britain.
Their parents met in the UK, and then they moved to the US.
Now that's how they're US citizens through the dad.
The parents divorce, the mom goes back to England, the brother spent time there,
and police there link them to quote terrifying radicalization of boys and young men
into violence against women and girls. There was a big red flag in Romania that they were going to try and leave because
they went quiet on social media. They then flew from Bucharest to Florida on a private
jet back in January. Now why, why, why? The travel ban had been lifted and the two
got their US passports back. Oddly, the two have a huge US following. Many people,
many, many people in the crime victim community are extremely disturbed by reports that US officials asked for
tapes travel restrictions to be relaxed.
Why?
Now the Florida criminal investigation is a civil lawsuit from a woman who
claims they coerced her into sex work, then defamed her when she gave evidence to Romanian police. They deny this.
Again, at this juncture, the two are innocent
until proven guilty. Will that ever happen? We wait as justice unfolds.
Goodbye, friend.
unfolds. Goodbye, Fylde.
