Reports say Andrew Tate and his brother were arrested for sex-trafficking and rape.
Former kickboxer and problematic social media influencer Andrew Tate was arrested with his brother on Thursday for allegations related to human sex-trafficking, according to a report.
Police entered Tate’s home in Romania where he and his brother, Tristan, were staying, sources told Romanian news outlet Libertatea.
