The State Department has received formal extradition requests from UK prosecutors for Andrew Tate, aged 39, and his brother Tristan Tate, aged 38. Andrew faces charges including 10 counts of rape, three counts each of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, as well as making and distributing indecent images of a child and possessing extreme pornography. Tristan is charged with five counts of rape, six counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, three counts of sex trafficking, and one count of sexual assault. Both men deny wrongdoing.
The Crown Prosecution Service originally filed 21 charges but added 38 more in July for actions between 2010 and 2017, bringing the total to 59 charges. The brothers were taken into custody by US authorities in July when the UK announced these new charges. Their lawyer, Joe McBride, claims that UK authorities have not provided sufficient documentation to support the extradition requests and will challenge them.
The US State Department is now reviewing these applications to ensure they comply with the existing treaty between the US and UK, after which it will forward them to a court for final decision. The deadline for submitting full extradition requests was September 16, 2023.
