Andrew Tate, the misogynistic – and hugely popular – social media influencer, has been charged by Romanian police with human trafficking, rape, and organising a crime group to exploit women. Tate’s brother Tristan and 2 associates were also charged. Police allege that the Tate brothers lured women with promises of loved-up bliss before coercing them into filming stuff we can’t articulate here due to the email police… Tate and Co deny the allegations and say they will “demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputations”. 

And while we’re talking legal issues, President Biden’s son Hunter has agreed to plead guilty to 2 misdemeanour charges of failing to pay taxes on time. His attorney believes the plea will resolve any further legal investigations, but Republicans say he deserves more than “a slap on the wrist”.
