Social media influencers fighting against extradition to UK where they face rape, sexual assault and other allegations

Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking, a federal judge said on Monday.

US magistrate Lauren Louis set a detention hearing for 13 August to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a months-long extradition process.

The brothers were not in court on Monday or required to be there and have remained in jail since making a brief court appearance two days after their 18 July arrest.

The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire. The new allegations are the latest in a long-running international legal saga involving the Tates that has spanned the US, Britain and Romania. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate correct title is rapists and women beaters Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks It should be 2 lifetime sentences for those two slime molds The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire. The Tates have become a symbol of how far money lets you take your misogyny and your violence against women. The brothers have long claimed that their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes. Yeah sure, pimping and threatening and raping all counts as "jokes out of context". McBride said shortly after the Tates were arrested that “they’ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they did not commit,” he said. McBride is accessory to rape, violence and pimping if he utters such crap. The allegations, which span from 2010 to 2017, include rape, assault, trafficking and offenses relating to “indecent images of a child and extreme pornography”. Of course, those fuckers are twisted enough for shit like that. Put McBride on the same list as them, or else he would refuse the mandate and they would be stuck with a public defender. The brothers are already charged with rape, bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain relating to three other accusers in the UK between 2012 and 2015. No shit sherlock. Andrew Tate, 39, became known a decade ago when he was a contestant on the UK reality television show Big Brother. He was booted from the show when a video appeared to show him assaulting a woman. There's fucking video evidence of him attacking women? i would say i am shocked, but in reality i am just disgusted as fuck. He has amassed more than 10 million followers on X Which means those 10 million followers should be placed on a fucking watchlist, just as it happens with anyone left of Margret Thatcher nowadays.
