Tate brothers ‘bragged about having sex with teen minors and stealing cam girls’ passports so they couldn’t escape’
DISGRACED influencer Andrew Tate allegedly bragged about stealing the passports of women he recruited for his camgirl business so they couldn’t escape, a new witness told The Sun.
According to the witness, the former Big Brother contestant’s brother Tristan also introduced him to a very young-looking girl who he claimed to be in a sexual relationship with, gleefully boasting: “Guess how old she is… She’s 16 bro!”
Misogynistic Andrew, a British-American Internet personality known as the ‘King of Toxic Masculinity’, was arrested on December 30th by Romanian police on charges of sex trafficking, organised crime, and rape, along with Tristan.
Romanian police have so far identified six women as victims, including one American, two Moldovans, and three Romanians.
Tate and his brother lured women to Romania with the false promise of a romantic relationship, then pressured them to engage in sex acts on webcam, prosecutors say.
Both brothers are currently in custody in Romania and are expected to deny the claims.
The witness, who wishes to remain anonymous for their own safety, is a former associate of the pair and spent several months in Bucharest with them in 2020.
During this time, Andrew took the witness on a tour and described his vile business model.
In an exclusive interview, the witness told The Sun: “He had a few properties where he put the women up to camgirl. To paraphrase he [Tate] told me: ‘I go over there, take them out in the cars to some nice spots, tell them they can live in the mansion if they do ‘cam’, then once they’re here, I take their passports.
“He preferred Moldovan girls as they were poor and good-looking.”
Speaking about why Andrew took the passports, the eyewitness added: “Here’s the thing, according to Andrew most women can’t do cam.
“They’re either no good, or they chicken out. So when he’d get one that could do it, and was an earner, he wanted to make sure they stuck around.”
The admissions by Tate to withholding the passports are corroborated by a second independent source.
Well-known British influencer in the so-called ‘manosphere’ who goes by the twitter name “IM” and twitter handle @Tellyoursonthis, claimed in 2019 that Andrew Tate confessed to stealing women’s passports.
In a public Twitter exchange with one of Andrew Tate’s known Twitter accounts @OfWudan, @Tellyoursonthis states: “I have screenshots of you literally admitting to trapping a girl in Romania by stealing her passport”.
Tate did not deny the accusation in his response.
The influencer @tellyoursonthis, who has chosen to keep his offline identity anonymous for safety reasons, told The Sun he also had a conversation with Andrew over the messaging service WhatsApp.
“He kept going on about how he was a pimp,” he said.
“How they would bring girls to Romania and steal their passports so they can’t leave the country.
“I thought this was a really odd flex/thing to boast about/admit but I don’t think he’s all quite there in the head.
“I recall him one time being angry/upset because some girl got away from him, a Swedish girl.
“He said she came to Romania and they took her passport but her parents came and got her and took her back to Sweden because it turns out she was rich and ‘that’s the only reason she got away’ and he was pretty unhinged/upset about all of this – enough to randomly rant about it to me entirely unprompted.”
The witness who visited the Tates in Bucharest attended a party at their home in November of 2020, where Tristan introduced him to a 16-year-old girl who he boasted about having a sexual relationship with.
They said: “We were all intermingling with each other, and Tristan brought over this girl who was obviously young.
“He said, ‘Guess how old she is?’
“Not wanting to be rude, I say, ‘I don’t know…18?’
“He leaned in with a smile on his face, like he was sharing a secret, and said, “She’s 16, bro!”
As a result of learning about the involvement of minors and the theft of passports, the witness cut ties with the Tate brothers.
TWITTER COMMENTS
Curiously, on the 24th of November 2020, around the same time as the alleged party in Bucharest, a post from one of Tristan Tates older Twitter accounts @LivesTalisman stated “Remember guys! 30 is the first year you can legally f**k women half your age. Don’t feel old, life gets better with age”.
The legal age of consent in Romania was in fact raised from 15 to 16, as of the 9th of November 2020.
While having sex with minors may not be a crime in Romania, keeping a minor in an environment of sex work may be.
The law criminalizes the sexual corruption of minors which includes, luring minors for sexual purposes, and trafficking in minors.
Cops swooped on the Tate brothers in their mansion in the Bucharest suburb of Pipera following Andrew’s bizarre twitter row with climate activist Greta Thunberg.
After being kicked off Big Brother in 2016 over a clip that showed him hitting a woman with a belt, Andrew has made millions spreading hateful misogynistic views on social media, which has seen him banned from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
His hate-filled diatribes include his often repeated view that women “bear some responsibility” for being raped.
The setup described by Tate is widely referred to as the ‘loverboy’ method used by sex traffickers and is believed to be the most common method of enslaving Romanian women.
Anti-sex trafficking campaign group Uncaged reports that withholding passports is the final part of the method as it prevents the victim from escaping the situation.
Both of The Sun’s sources have chosen to remain anonymous for their safety, as Andrew has a history of intimidating detractors into silence.
In 2019 he paid multiple visits to the home of former journalist Michael Stachberry who lived in Andrew’s hometown of Luton.
Brother Tristan, also a retired kickboxer was captured on CCTV camera beating a man who leaned against one of his super-cars.
Representatives for Andrew Tate were approached for comment by the Sun.
