Andrew Tate's legal cases, as of October 2026
United Kingdom
In May 2025 UK prosecutors authorised 21 charges against the two brothers. The 10 against Andrew include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain (Al Jazeera, CPS). On 19 July 2026 the Crown Prosecution Service authorised further charges against Andrew: seven counts of rape, three of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and 19 relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography, over the period July 2010 to August 2017 (CPS). He denies the allegations.
Romania
Romanian authorities detained the brothers on 29 December 2022 and indicted them in June 2023 for human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, plus rape for Andrew. In December 2024 the Bucharest Court of Appeal sent that case back to prosecutors over "legal and procedural irregularities" (AP). Their travel ban was lifted in February 2025 and the remaining court restrictions in April 2026 (Romania Insider). On 4 September 2026 prosecutors announced a new indictment: Andrew is accused of trafficking minors, sex with a minor and money laundering, and Tristan of complicity. Their lawyer said they reject the allegations (Al Jazeera).
United States
Florida's attorney general announced a criminal investigation in March 2025; we found no Florida charges. A civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in March 2025 alleges assault; his lawyer called the claims "unfounded and sensational" (NBC News).
