Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested by US federal authorities in Miami.

They were arrested on Saturday after an extradition request from the UK, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service said.

“We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,” Malcolm McHaffie, head of the CPS’s Special Crime Division, said.

“These charging decisions followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police and bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven.”

The offending is alleged to have taken place between July 2010 and August 2017.

“The CPS has requested the extradition of the Tates from the US. They have been arrested and await extradition proceedings to the UK.”

The brothers, proponents of hypermasculinity who have millions of followers on social media, have been wanted in the United Kingdom, where they face rape and human trafficking charges.

The brothers are dual US and British citizens who moved to Romania in 2016.

They were arrested there in 2022, accused of participating in schemes to lure women for sexual exploitation.

They denied those allegations and the case didn’t go forward because of legal and procedural irregularities.

The former professional kickboxers have amassed a following of fans, particularly young men and boys, by professing a lifestyle of luxury and unapologetic misogyny.

The pending charges in the United Kingdom accused the brothers of abusing women between 2012 and 2015 in an area north of London, where they grew up.

Their lawyers had said they denied the allegations.
