SBG Andrew Tate has been put under house arrest in Romania as he’s investigated for new and serious allegations – including sex with a minor.
The highly controversial influencer, who spreads messages of extreme misogyny and sexism, is already facing human trafficking and rape charges.
Hear more about Tate and the latest news headlines on this episode of The Briefing, ‘Chappell Roan, the cult of celebrity, and fans going too far’:
Prosecutors have levelled fresh allegations against the 36-year-old. Allegations concern 35 victims, including one who was 15 at the time of the alleged crime.
The legal representative for Andrew Tate and his brother, Mateea Petrescu, said: “The Tates salute the decision and firmly deny all allegations levelled against them, emphasising that the accusations are baseless and unsupported by substantial evidence.”
Romania’s anti-organised crime agency says the accused were grooming “vulnerable” people who were forced to produce pornographic material.
When confronted by the media outside court, Tate says the new investigation was a “set up”.
