Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, described as controversial internet personalities, are set to appear before a US judge for a hearing on whether they will remain jailed in the state of Florida or be released while they fight extradition to the United Kingdom.
The hearing for Andrew and Tristan Tate is scheduled for Aug. 13 before Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis.
The total number of charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, sexual assault and trafficking offenses.
The latest charges authorized by Britain's Crown Prosecution Service bring the number of charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate to 59, including rape, sexual assault and arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. The allegations concern seven victims and are said to have taken place between 2010 and 2017. Both brothers deny wrongdoing.
Arrest and custody
Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by US Marshals in Miami on July 18, hours after British prosecutors announced dozens of additional charges against them. They have remained in federal custody since a brief court appearance two days after their arrest.
The Tates' lawyers have asked Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis to release them on bail, arguing they are not flight risks. Prosecutors have pushed to keep the Tates detained, citing concerns about danger to the community.
Thursday's hearing will not address the merits of the case, but only whether the Tates stay in custody while British authorities finalize their formal extradition request — a process expected to take months.
Background
Andrew Tate is 39, and his brother Tristan is 38. Both are dual US-British citizens and former professional kickboxers who built a global following promoting views on wealth and masculinity. They have become among the internet's most polarizing figures and have faced legal scrutiny in multiple countries since 2022.
The brothers were first detained in Romania in 2022 on human trafficking and rape allegations.
After President Trump took office, Andrew Tate proclaimed, 'The Tates will be free.' A year later, Andrew Tate is being held in federal prison after being arrested following a U.K. extradition request.
