At a federal court hearing in Miami on Monday, the brothers appeared before a judge wearing prison clothing rather than their customary suits, with their attorney Joseph McBride confirming they will contest extradition to the United Kingdom. McBride was making his first public remarks since the arrests. CPS Head of Special Crime Division Malcolm McHaffie said the charges followed receipt of further evidence from Bedfordshire Police, bringing the total number of alleged victims in the case to seven and the combined charge count against both brothers to 59. The pair were arrested near a venue where Andrew Tate had been scheduled to co-host a bare-knuckle fighting event.

Original story

Influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by the US Marshals Service in Miami on Saturday, July 18, following an extradition request from British authorities who announced a sweeping set of new criminal charges against the brothers. The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that Andrew Tate, 39, faces seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and 19 additional charges related to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. His brother Tristan, 38, faces one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. The alleged offences are said to have taken place between July 2010 and August 2017. The US Department of Justice confirmed the arrests were made pursuant to extradition proceedings.

The new charges bring the total number of charges against both brothers to 59 — 42 against Andrew and 17 against Tristan — and raise the total number of alleged victims in the UK case to seven.
