Internet personalities and brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were on Wednesday charged with rape and other crimes by Britain.
According to the Associated Press, the charges against the two were authorised in January 2024, but were not publicised.
The report quoted the Crown Prosecution Service as saying that this was the first time it was confirmed the two had been criminally charged in Britain.
Andrew Tate, 38, faces 10 charges related to three women that include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain.
Tristan Tate, 36, faces 11 charges related to one woman that include rape, human trafficking and actual bodily harm.
The brothers are both former professional kickboxers who have millions of followers on social media.
Andrew is more popular, having drawn a larger following with his unapologetic misogyny that has drawn boys and young men to the luxurious lifestyle he projects, AP reports.
The Tates were arrested in Romania in late 2022 and formally indicted last year on charges that they participated in a criminal ring that lured women there, where they were allegedly sexually exploited.
Andrew Tate was also charged with rape.
They denied all the allegations in Romania.
Meanwhile, Romanian courts have issued an order to extradite the two to the UK once their court case is concluded there.
The warrant issued by Bedfordshire Police last year for the siblings dates back to allegations between 2012 and 2015.
