Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Miami, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Charges for the manosphere influencers were not immediately available, with the Associated Press reporting the warrant was sealed.
A Department of Justice spokesperson released a statement to CBS News saying, “Today, U.S. Marshals in the Southern District of Florida arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate pursuant to extradition proceedings. These arrests were made in accordance with the treaties and law enforcement agreements governing Justice Department extraditions.”
The Crown Prosecution Service in England released a statement informing the public that they were bringing charges against the Tate brothers for sexual offenses after four further victims came forward with claims.
Andrew Tate was facing “seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.”
Tristan Tate’s was facing “one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.”
Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement, “We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child. These charging decisions followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police and bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven.”
