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.
