Andrew Tate Will Be Locked Up for Another 30 Days, Romanian Court Rules

[Zorro]

The notorious sexist Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, will be kept behind bars for at least another month in Romania on allegations of rape and human trafficking.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will remain in custody until Feb. 27 after a Romanian court extended their detention on Friday.

The British-American kickboxing champion-turned-sexist influencer and his brother are being investigated over allegations of rape and human trafficking. A judge at the Bucharest Court determined that the pair should remain in police custody for another 30 days while authorities carry out their inquiries.

The Tate brothers and two Romanian women were arrested last month over allegations of being part of an organized crime group that local authorities say exploited women by coercing them into making pornography. Prosecutors say Tate would pretend to want romantic relationships with the alleged victims before forcing them into creating the explicit content. All four suspects deny the allegations.

Before the hearing Friday, lawyers for the Tate brothers argued that prosecutors had failed to produce any new evidence against the defendants and that they were “optimistic” the detention extension would be denied, the BBC reports.

1. They better keep him locked up because he will flee the country at the first opportunity

2. Off topic: Is "influencer" the new word for "shill"?

4. That is a good question....

If they are taking money specifically to endore a product or position, then I think the answer is yes.

3. I consider myself lucky that I never heard of this asshole before he was arrested.

The fact that "sexist influencer" is a thing makes me lose faith in humanity.
