    I hope they get a fair trial, are allowed to present their defense, and are treated properly by the courts as defendents.

    If they’re found guilty I hope they’re given a very long sentence in a very dark hole. No, I won’t shed a tear if they’re convicted. They’re both human pieces of shit. If they’re tried and convicted pieces of shit then the world will be a little bit better while they’re incarcerated.

      On one hand I’m pretty sure we all can be pretty confident he’s guilty

      On the other I wish everyone acted more like this instead of treating the idea of making a rich person go to court to find out the truth like it’s an attack

          Trying to silence discussion of politics is itself a tacit endorsement of the status quo.

            I think Jonny’s comment was about the Trump reference in an article about a British man human trafficking women in Romania. No one is trying to silence discussion

            True, but Trump is only tangentially related to Tate. If the discussion went further comparing their followers, that would be on topic.

              It’s a single line at the end making light of their similarities. He wasn’t trying to make this website all about American politics as suggested.

      The evidence for sex trafficking is overwhelming. He snitched on himself over and over, and all that stuff is admissible. So ya, fair trial or not, he belongs in prison. Everyone deserves a fair trial.

      It’s even better for everyone that hates him to let him have at it in a fair trial. Why? Because he won’t be able to claim he’s been wronged. He will have had his chance, and if they convict him, it’s proper to call him a rapist.

      Let’s give him a fair trial so we can make his new status official.

        Oh they’ll claim his been wronged no matter what. Still, fair trial is the best outcome.

          But for at least some, it will burst the bubble of him as this miracle money printer. Instead, he’ll be the fraudster that got caught.

    BONK!

    too comical for such a serious piece of shit, but damn I’m hoping this saves people from him physically and frees anyone already entrapped

    it’s absurd how pervasive an “influencer” like this can become with such a vile message in no time flat

    freeing people from his ideology = lifetime battle

    how to avoid more of them

      I’m imagining it being like the end of a fantasy movie when the evil witch’s curse is broken and everyone is released from her control at the same time.

      Nobody knows where they are, what they were doing, or who Andrew Tate is. Chaos is all around as everyone is coming back to reality at the same time.

      It takes society years to fully recover, but finally people can live their lives again.

      Massively popular influencer who bragged about sex trafficking, avoiding taxes with crypto, and had courses on how to become a sex trafficker. He talks about women as if they’re literal property, and brags about using coercion to exploit women into sex work, and using fraud to take their money. That’s the legal definition of sex trafficking.

      He moved to a county where he bragged that he can’t be touched because it’s so corrupt and he can just pay them off. Said country arrested him and charged him with the crimes he openly articulated committing, and a little rape for the cherry on top.

      His popularity cannot be overstated. He had 25 million people watching his stream at one time. That’s like Super Bowl numbers. His fans are a cult. He redpilled millions of incels and insecure teenagers.

      Here’s a legal breakdown:

      Obviously investigators would have additional evidence.

      He’s a self-help guru who primarily targets young men and is notable for being comically misogynistic and essentially equating women to inanimate objects. Unfortunately, he has a huge cult following in spite or maybe even because of this.
