Tate brothers used ’lover boy’ model, UK alleges

published 6d ago fetched 6d ago history →

British authorities have released court documents alleging that Andrew and Tristan Tate used a ’lover boy’ model to attract and exploit women. The documents, made public in the US, describe how the brothers would promise romantic relationships before coercing women into creating online pornography. The allegations stem from the UK’s criminal case against the brothers, who are also facing separate legal proceedings in Romania.
