The troubling tats were seen in sex-cam videos as part of the jailed influencers operation in Romania, which investigators say was a sex-trafficking gang operation based on violence, police sources told The Times of London.
The inking was found on Romanian workers and the 22-year-old American who accused Tate of raping her last year, sparking the initial investigation and raid in April, the UK paper said.
The expression tallies with incendiary comments the US-born influencer has repeatedly made claiming that women belong to men and owe them a cut of any cash they make from porn.

Its not about being property, its about she belongs to him, and the intimate parts of her body belong to him because theyre in a relationship, Tate told Barstool Sports in July.
And if she wants to sell those, he has a stake in those parts of her body, he reckoned of girls on sex cam sites like OnlyFans.
But that wouldnt apply to male porn stars, he said, because I think the women belong to the man.

Hes going to prison for ages.

(269,095 posts)Notorious influencer Andrew Tate was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and physical abuse in 2015 while he and his brother were running a webcam sex business out of the UK, VICE World News can reveal.
It comes after Tate and his brother Tristan were remanded in custody in Romania until the end of January after being arrested by anti-organised crime police as part of a rape and human trafficking investigation. The Tate brothers lawyer is appealing the court order extending their detention.
Two women told VICE World News they were violently abused one raped, the other repeatedly strangled by Andrew Tate, and that UK police and the Crown Prosecution Service mishandled their case, leaving him free to rise to global fame on the back of his unchecked misogyny. Police took four years to pass their investigation to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) whose job involves assessing whether there is a realistic prospect of conviction at which point the CPS declined to prosecute.

(14,157 posts)A disgusting sense of entitlement. This dude is sick,... thinking all the while he can treat women as barnyard animals. Throw a saddle on her and take her for a joy ride,.. then dump her when you are done.

Tate is a very dangerous person. He is monetizing toxic masculinity down to a science and actively seeking out young men who he can teach his vile conceptions to of dating,.. relationships,.. interactions,.. with the opposite sex.

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have all banned the former kickboxer. That hasnt stopped teachers worrying about his influence on teenage boys

Andrew Tate or, to give him his full title, the king of toxic masculinity is a total enigma to the digital latecomer. Originally a kickboxer from Luton, he arrived in the public eye by being expelled from Big Brother in 2016, after video footage emerged of him beating a woman with a belt. It was just a kink thing, they both said, totally consensual, but Tate then went very public with his view that women are scum. His online profile soared: he now has 12.7bn social media views, and more Google searches than Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian. He was banned from the core platforms YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook last week, and yet apparently this makes no odds, since his soldiers can still find his content if they just look hard enough, which they do. He is the poster boy of the manosphere, and, as much as you might wish to take the wasp approach ignore him and eventually hell go away - this peacocking of unpleasantness is not without consequence. He is a key influencer of young teenage boys, and apparently, according to worried teachers theyre taking him quite literally.
Talk to your sons, people on Twitter say, so I casually asked my 14-year-old about Tate. These days I skirt quite carefully around the issue of culturally embedded misogyny, after I had such a tantrum about How I Met Your Mother, in which the female characters are bolted together like two halves of different cars, that he said hed never watch TV with me again. So I didnt say, What do you make of Andrew Tate, loathed bringer of hatred?. I just said, What do you make of Andrew Tate?, all innocent like.

Tate actually has a web site were he charges $5,000.00/year to join where he claims to coach young males how to become filthy rich just like him.
It is a throwback of Trump University were "The Donald" promised to make you a real estate mogul just like he is if you would pay him $30,000.00.
