Tate brothers to face separate extradition hearings

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 00:55 · Archive

A Miami judge has rejected a request by Andrew and Tristan Tate to have their extradition hearings consolidated. Andrew Tate's hearing will be held on 19 November and Tristan's on 20 November. The US government argued that separate hearings would avoid confusion between the facts and evidence supporting each independent extradition request. Judge Lauren Louis ruled that separate hearings would better facilitate determination of each respondent's extradition status.

The former professional kickboxers, who hold dual US and British citizenship, have been held in custody since their arrest in July. A bid by the Tates to be freed on bail was rejected last month, but they have petitioned the court in a fresh attempt to secure their release. UK prosecutors have brought rape and sex trafficking charges against them. Court documents released this week set out the prosecution case, in which UK investigators allege the pair groomed vulnerable women using a 'lover boy' model of exploitation before forcing them into creating online pornography through threats and violence.
