Manosphere influencer Andrew Tate<\/strong> and his brother, Tristan Tate<\/strong>, are speaking out via their lawyer following their most recent arrest for alleged sex trafficking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDays ago, Andrew and Tristan Tate exercised their constitutional rights by visiting the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. They held meetings about their UK party, the midterms, and 2028. They also met with friends and members of Congress,\u201d the brothers\u2019 attorney, Joe McBride<\/strong>, claimed via a written statement shared with Us Weekly<\/em> on Sunday, July 19, before claiming that the so-called men\u2019s rights advocates are currently being held as \u201cpolitical prisoners\u201d on \u201cAmerican soil\u201d in a \u201c5\u00d712 cell\u201d in \u201csolitary confinement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake about it: they are being punished for daring to exercise their First Amendment Rights,\u201d the legal representative\u2019s statement continued. (The brothers both face several counts of rape, sexual assault and arranging or facilitating sex trafficking in addition to 21 previous charges related to sexual violence and sex trafficking. They have not been charged with anything pertaining to free speech.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are also being hunted by a despotic UK Government that wants to bury them in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives,\u201d McBride also claimed in his written statement. \u201cWe met with them today. They are dressed in orange jumpsuits like Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Two innocent men, charged with nothing in America, dressed like enemy combatants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offenses including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offenses relating to indecent images of a child,\u201d Malcolm McHaffie<\/strong>, head of the U.K. Special Crime Division at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), announced at the time.<\/a> \u201cThese 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair were apprehended by U.S. Marshals ahead of a scheduled bareknuckle boxing event they were expected to host. Andrew now faces \u201cseven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm,\u201d per the CPS. He has also been cited for 19 additional alleged offenses involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.<\/p>\n

His brother Tristan, meanwhile, faces additional charges for one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n

Per the Crown Prosecution Service, prosecutors chose to move forward with 21 previous charges in addition to fresh counts related to four additional alleged victims. These additional incidents allegedly occurred between July 2010 and August 2017 in London. The Tates are due to appear in a federal court early next week to begin extradition proceedings to the U.K., per the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his written statement, the brothers\u2019 lawyer called the Florida AG James Uthmeier<\/strong> a \u201clow-testosterone deep state asset who hates free speech\u201d and a \u201csad joke of a man who can\u2019t get over the fact that we wiped the floor with him last year\u201d \u2014 a continuation of the brothers\u2019 public back-and-forth with the attorney general after Uthmeir announced his office would be launching an investigation<\/a> into the brothers\u2019 alleged misconduct in last year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAlexander brothers Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander\u00a0have been found guilty on all charges in their federal sex trafficking case following a five-week trial. The jury delivered its verdict on Monday, March 9, after hearing testimony from 11 women who claimed to have been attacked, sexually assaulted and drugged by one or more of the brothers [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is un-American and unconscionable,\u201d McBride added. \u201cLove Andrew and Tristan or hate them. It does not matter. When American citizens can be caged for their politics, every single one of you is next.
Mark my words, today it is Andrew and Tristan.\u201d<\/p>\n
