Controversial social media personalities Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in the United States. The arrests followed an announcement by the UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that it was bringing further charges against the brothers.
According to the CPS, Andrew Tate is facing seven new counts of rape, along with additional charges related to alleged sex trafficking and child pornography. Tristan Tate has been charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.
The alleged offenses are said to have occurred between July 2010 and August 2017. In total, prosecutors have identified seven alleged victims in the case, according to Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the CPS. The brothers have previously denied any wrongdoing.
The U.S. Marshals confirmed the arrests, and a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice stated the detentions were "pursuant to extradition proceedings." The CPS indicated that prosecutors intend to seek the brothers' extradition.
Previously, in May 2025, prosecutors confirmed a list of 21 charges that Andrew Tate, 39, and Tristan Tate, 37, are expected to face in the UK. These alleged offenses are said to have taken place between 2012 and 2016.
