US marshals arrest Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami on UK rape and sex trafficking charges
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami on Saturday, July 18, 2026, by US marshals. The arrest follows charges of rape, sex trafficking, and assault brought by UK authorities, who are seeking their extradition.
The brothers, known for their controversial views and large social media following, were in Miami for a bare-knuckle boxing event. The US Marshals Service confirmed the arrest to AFP, stating that the brothers were detained under a sealed arrest warrant.
The UK's Crown Prosecution Service announced on Saturday that they are prosecuting the Tate brothers for additional alleged offenses dating from 2010 to 2017. The charges include rape, sex trafficking, and assault. The brothers are already facing 21 charges in a separate case.
Andrew and Tristan Tate have dual US-UK citizenship and have been living in Romania since 2016. They were previously arrested in Romania in 2022 on charges of participating in schemes to attract women for sexual exploitation but were released due to legal and procedural irregularities.
The brothers have denied the charges. Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, stated that the new charges are "vile defamations" intended to undermine the brothers' defamation lawsuits in the US. McBride expressed confidence that the brothers would be released once a competent judge reviews the facts.
Andrew Tate, 39, first gained public attention as a contestant on the British reality show Big Brother in 2016 but was removed from the program after a video surfaced appearing to show him assaulting a woman. Both brothers have been banned from platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram for violating hate speech policies.
The brothers are expected to appear in federal court in Miami early next week. The extradition process will determine whether they will be sent to the UK to face the charges.
The Tate brothers have been influential figures in the "manosphere," known for promoting wealth, male dominance, and misogynistic views to millions of followers on social media. Their arrest has drawn significant attention due to their high-profile status and the serious nature of the charges.
The brothers are facing a total of 59 charges in the UK, including rape, sex trafficking, assault, tax evasion, and money laundering. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, according to British officials.
The brothers were previously investigated in the UK in 2019, but the case was closed due to insufficient evidence. It was reopened in March 2026 after the initial investigation was deemed insufficiently thorough by the police watchdog.
Andrew Tate has over 10 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) but has been banned from other major platforms for violating hate speech policies. The brothers have consistently denied the accusations, claiming their statements have been taken out of context or were jokes.
The brothers' lawyer, Joseph McBride, called the charges "madness" and denied that the Tates had participated in any wrongdoing. He stated that the brothers are confident they will be released once the facts are reviewed.
