British authorities have leveled 38 fresh accusations against Andrew and Tristan Tate, alleging new victims have come forward in an expanding investigation into sexual offenses and exploitation.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced the additional counts, which include rape and trafficking for sexual purposes, following a review of evidence submitted by Bedfordshire Police. The brothers were taken into custody by U.S. marshals on July 18, as detailed in a CPS statement released the next day.
Prosecutors stated that the updated charges involve four previously unidentified individuals, raising the total number of alleged victims in the British case to seven.
Andrew Tate, 39, now faces seven additional rape allegations, three counts related to organizing or enabling trafficking for sexual exploitation, and three counts of assault causing actual bodily harm. He also confronts 19 new charges concerning indecent images of minors and extreme pornography.
His brother, Tristan Tate, 38, is accused of two additional rapes, one count of sexual assault, and three counts linked to trafficking for sexual exploitation.
The alleged incidents occurred between July 2010 and August 2017, according to prosecutors. These new accusations bring the total number of charges against the brothers in the UK to 59, including 21 previously authorized counts involving three other alleged victims.
The CPS emphasized that it is pursuing extradition of the Tates from the United States to face both the original and new charges. The agency noted that criminal proceedings remain ongoing and that the brothers are entitled to a fair trial.
Both Tates, who hold dual British and U.S. citizenship, have maintained their innocence. Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, characterized the charges as an abuse of power and stated his clients are not guilty.
The brothers continue to face legal actions in Romania, where they were charged in 2023 with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized criminal group to exploit women sexually. Reports indicate they traveled to Florida in February 2025 after Romanian authorities eased travel restrictions. Romania’s justice minister later refuted claims that U.S. pressure influenced that decision.
