And some of the most serious charges in the Romanian case relate to allegations that Andrew Tate in particular committed.
raped and groomed a 15-year-old girl in a very serious and sustained way.
So this is not an isolated incident.
There was a pattern of this.
And the Tate brothers were pretty brazen about it.
I mean, at times, Andrew Tate was even tweeting in his words that he was eugenically selecting aesthetically similar teenage models for his webcam pornography business.
Well, something that emerged from my reporting was that the brothers actually were accused, or Andrew Tate was accused, back in 2015, right at the very, very beginning of the webcam pornography business, of rape and strangulation by three different women, two of whom were among the first recruits to the webcam pornography business.
And then police pretty much sat on it for four years and did very little.
They failed to gather proper evidence from the alleged victims.
Meanwhile, the evidence on Andrew Tate's phone had not been properly retrieved at all.
And the officers just simply hadn't done their job properly.
So I do think this was a case where these women were just kind of not believed, not taken seriously.
And actually, if police had got to grips with this properly 10 years ago, then I think the internet might be a pretty different place for women today.
The brothers recruited a young American woman, a woman from Florida, who came out to their compound and quickly reported in texts to her family and friends that she felt she was being trafficked and being held against her will there.
That triggered a report to the U.S.
Embassy, which then alerted local authorities, and all of a sudden,
Local police in Romania took this case very, very seriously.
They raided the Tate Brothers compound and they assigned one of the country's leading organized crime prosecutors to dig into their affairs.
And that's when the brothers ended up being indicted for forming an organized crime group to traffic women.
What happened there is there was a change of administration in the US and all of a sudden the disposition of the Romanian authorities towards this case changed pretty dramatically.
