Two women describe being attacked by the controversial social media influencer when he lived in Luton.

Two women who say they were raped and strangled by the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate have spoken to the BBC about their experiences.

Another woman has alleged, for the first time, she was raped by Mr Tate’s younger brother, Tristan - also an influencer with millions of followers.

The Tate brothers, aged 37 and 36, currently face charges in Romania of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also charged with rape.

If found guilty, the two men could be jailed for more than 10 years. They strongly deny the charges against them.

    The cryogenic freezing is superstupid indeed if meant seriously and not just as a kind of kink. The rest of it is just immoral and/or perverted but kind of clever?

      He was a cutout. Someone who was used because he was controllable and disposable. If he was clever, he wouldn’t be dead, he would have had safeguards in place to protect his life using the influence gained from his organization/racket.

      But it wasn’t really his racket, he was just a face of it. A body used to fill a recurring role that intelligence agencies find very useful.

      And clearly, They learned their lesson from the Franklin scandal I linked above. That was a true clusterfuck that took a lot of effort to clean up and mitigate the fallout from, which is why they put so much effort into making sure it’s smeared as a hoax, overblown, and fake news.

      They even indicted at least two victims of that particular ring, and at least one was sentenced in prison for “perjury” refusing to recant her testimony.

      Another book on the topic from a primary source, a lawyer involved from the beginning with the Franklin scandal.
