Two of the women who accuse the Tate brothers are being defended by the lawyers of a major American organization. What messages do the two convey?

Two of the women who came forward with allegations against brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate are now being represented by NCOSE, a major US anti-trafficking organization.

It is about the young woman from the United States, who accuses the two of seizing her and forcing her to do video chat, but also another young woman, originally from the Republic of Moldova, according to the GANDUL sources.

In two messages sent through the organization, the young women are calling on other possible victims of the Tate brothers to come forward with their stories.

„As a victim of the Tate brothers, I understand very well how difficult it can be for someone to come forward and say what happened to them. But when social media shows us the extreme harm some can cause, I feel compelled to speak about it. If these words can prevent a woman from becoming an «alleged» victim of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, then the risk I am taking is justified. It can be scary, overwhelming, it can feel like you have no one to turn to. If you or someone you know is in this situation, know that you are not alone and that you can get help.

If we come forward together, we might get justice and prevent these people from hurting anyone else. I know it’s hard, but I promise there are resources and people ready to help. Don’t let fear and shame stop you from speaking up”, it is shown in a message from one of the young women, transmitted by NCOSE.

„To all the victims, I know how hurt you feel. We all felt that way. I love each of you for your courage to move forward despite these feelings. You are loved and many people know how strong you are”, it is shown in the message of the other young woman.

According to GÂNDUL sources, NCOSE representatives are planning a collective lawsuit against the two Britons.

Tate brothers remain in custody

The magistrates of the Bucharest Court have motivated the decision to extend the pre-trial detention for 30 days for brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate and for the two women accused of helping them sexually exploit their victims, Georgiana Naghel and former policewoman Luana Radu.  The judges showed how the girls working in the videochat studio controlled by the two brothers were tormented and how one of them was allegedly raped in the context of a sexual orgy.

According to the evidence submitted by DIICOT prosecutors, Andrew and Tristan Tate are suspected of having established an organized criminal group operating both in Romania and in the US and Great Britain. The two are accused of recruiting several young women through a method known generically as „loverboy” and then sexually exploiting them in a videochat studio opened in Pipera.

According to the court’s motivation, after recruiting the girls, the Brits were helped by Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu to force them „to perform pornographic acts with a view to producing and disseminating pornographic material by forcing them to perform forced labor” Andrew and Tristan Tate are accused of „setting up an organized criminal group in 2021 with a view to committing the crime of trafficking in human beings on the territory of Romania and other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom”.

Investigators alleged that sometime in late January – early February 2022, Andrew Tate met a young woman from the Republic of Moldova. The two allegedly met in London during February and he convinced her that he was determined to marry her.

Subsequently, he allegedly brought her to Romania and lodged her directly in the studio in Pipera, where, after invoking an alleged debt and with the help of one of his trusted women, „through acts of physical violence and psychological coercion resulting from intimidation, surveillance and control,” he forced her to do videochat.

The young woman from the USA attracted to Romania by Tristan Tate

As for the incident involving a young woman from the US, which was also the basis of the investigation that led to the arrest of the Tate brothers, the DIICOT prosecutors revealed that, initially, she got to known Tristan Tate. The two reportedly met in America at the end of December 2021, after meeting a month earlier through a social networking site.

Subsequently, as in the case of the other victims, the woman came to Romania with a plane ticket paid for by Tristan Tate, whom she believed to be her future husband.

„(…) he transported her from the USA to Romania and Ilfov County for the purpose of sexual exploitation, by forcing her to perform pornographic acts with a view to producing and disseminating pornographic material, using for this purpose the website …. and by forcing her to perform forced labour, using for this purpose the website …, in order to identify more than 1000 followers”, the reasoning of the Bucharest Court also states.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are accused of „establishing an organized criminal group in 2021 with a view to committing the crime of trafficking in human beings on the territory of Romania and other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom”.
