The content of the full text of this article is frankly appalling.
And their defence still consists of playground bully levels of “nuh uh, no I didn’t”.
This is what makes it so much worse to stomach. These two are just bullies, with zero empathy, zero remorse and without the emotional intelligence to even begin to think about what they have done to other people. It’s appalling to think that there are people out there who are so incapable of recognising that other people have lives too and that what they have done has destroyed many people. I genuinely hope they are completely crushed by this trial, though sadly I can’t help but feel that he’s going to dodge any real form of punishment. Reactionary, backwards politics and culture needs people like the Tates to continue to perpetuate their never ending hierarchy of suffering, and I can imagine them continuing to get bankrolled so that they can pedal their toxic influence even after being so publicly shamed.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 300 pages of reported testimony and evidence seen by the BBC provide a rare glimpse inside the pre-trial prosecution case against Andrew Tate, whose controversial views and online influence have sparked warnings from teachers, police and rights groups.
Included in the summary is a reproduced text message in which Mr Tate appears to claim leadership of the adult content business that prosecutors say was a human trafficking ring.
Earlier this summer, Romanian prosecutors said in a statement that the Tate brothers had recruited their alleged victims by misleading them about their romantic intentions, before transporting the women to a house on the outskirts of Bucharest - where they were sexually exploited by the group, and forced to produce pornographic content through physical violence and mental coercion.
The prosecutors’ file also contains what is claimed to be transcriptions of audio messages from 2020 - in which Tristan Tate appears to say he doesn’t want the women on sites like PornHub and OnlyFans to have access to their accounts:
She says she was unable to reject Mr Tate because he would hold her head during sex, telling her he no longer wanted to receive negative messages from her, and threatening to get her pregnant and lock her in a house.
In their report, prosecutors allege that the Tate brothers do not appear to have income “from lawful activities”, but that from 2018 onwards they acquired “numerous properties”, “15 of the rarest and most expensive cars”, estimated to be worth more than £3m, as well as jewellery and $400,000 in cryptocurrency.
