The BBC has obtained disturbing details of graphic evidence compiled by Romanian prosecutors, shedding light on allegations that Andrew Tate was involved in coercing women into sexual acts.
The case file summary, consisting of hundreds of pages of testimonies and transcripts, includes an allegation of sexual violence resulting in eye and breast injuries for one woman.
Additionally, transcribed audio messages involving Tate’s brother Tristan suggest disturbing language about mistreatment.
Both Andrew and Tristan Tate are currently facing trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and forming an organized criminal group, with Andrew Tate also facing a charge of rape.
The prosecution claims that they misled and exploited women under the pretense of romantic relationships and engaged in sexual exploitation, including producing pornographic content through physical violence and mental manipulation.
However, the authenticity of the evidence remains a matter of uncertainty. Some of the transcribed messages may have been originally written or recorded in English, translated into Romanian by prosecutors, and then re-translated into English by the BBC.
Consequently, the accuracy of these transcriptions cannot be fully verified due to the lack of access to the original evidence.
The case file provides an unprecedented insight into the pre-trial prosecution case against Andrew Tate, a controversial figure known for his online influence and contentious views.

It includes a reproduced text message where Tate seems to claim leadership of an adult content business alleged by prosecutors to be part of a human trafficking ring.
The defense lawyers for the Tate brothers are expected to challenge the prosecution evidence in an upcoming pre-trial hearing.
The admissibility of certain materials could be disputed. Even if some evidence is deemed admissible, the defendants may contest it during the trial, disputing their authenticity, accuracy, or context.
The case file includes testimony from women who allegedly lived near the Tates’ residence and claim to have been subjected to control and exploitation by the defendants. Alleged text messages contain threats and references to violence, adding to the disturbing nature of the allegations.
Prosecutors assert that the Tate brothers controlled income from online content, including on platforms like OnlyFans and TikTok, while allegedly subjecting the women to abuse, financial penalties, and strict schedules.
