The brothers were surprised when they were arrested, McBride said, adding that the attempt to have them extradited was politically motivated. The allegations, spanning 2010 to 2017, include rape, assault, trafficking and offenses relating to “indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.” Andrew Tate, 39, first became known a decade ago when he was a contestant on the U.K. reality television show “Big Brother.” The Tate brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking, claiming their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes.
