Last month popular podcaster Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania on human trafficking charges [click here if you missed that].
Now one of the victims claims she was lured to Romania with promises of marriage...
From The Daily Mail
Romanian prosecutors claim that Tate recruited the women on social media platforms and lured them to Bucharest by falsely professing his love and intention to marry them.
One of Tate's alleged victims said she was promised marriage to one of the brothers, according to court documents obtained by Romanian news outlet Gandul. She was lured to Romania by Tate and Tristan 'by misrepresenting the intention to establish a marriage or cohabitation relationship,' prosecutors claim.
The woman was picked up at the airport by a 'female accomplice' after landing in Romania and she was initially promised that she would be living with her 'boyfriend'.
But the woman was told 'she would live with some girls who work for' the brothers, prosecutors claim in the court documents. She was then allegedly forced to create pornographic content for the Tate brothers.
Romanian prosecutors claim the brothers 'identified vulnerable people and exploited their needs for affection, trust, stability, creating the impression of a close relationship'.
The tactics are known as the 'lover boy' method, which is used by criminals to recruit victims who are suffering from economic hardship by seducing them with gifts and promises of a better life abroad.
The brothers had 'the role of recruiting people, who were transported and housed in houses in Romania... and the role of supervising and coordinating the entire exploitation activity', prosecutors claim.
The prosecutors claimed allowing Tate and Tristan to not face imprisonment 'poses a danger to public order'.
