Andrew Tate ‘raped OnlyFans model & turned her into a slave’ after saying ‘nothing bad will happen’, claim prosecutors
ANDREW Tate raped an OnlyFans model twice after luring her to work for him as a cam girl, prosecutors said.
Misogynist influencer Tate and his brother Tristan are accused of turning six women into "slaves" after trafficking them to Romania.
It is alleged the Tates and their two enforcers - also known as their "angels" - would exploit the women, taking half of their earnings as they carried out sex work on OnlyFans.
And a new 61-page cache of documents from prosecutors lays out the allegations in grim detail - including accusations of rape against Andrew.
The Tate brothers deny all allegations against them.
The court documents - dated December 30 - were released to news agency Reuters.

It came after the Tates had their appeal for release denied - meaning they will stay in jail until at least February 27.
Andrew is claimed to have lured an unnamed woman, from Moldova, to join him in Romania - assuring her "nothing bad would happen".
He is then alleged to have raped her twice, according to prosecutors, as she joined his operation.
Documents reportedly show Tate's lawyer Eugen Vidineac arguing that the sex was consensual and accusing the alleged victim of fabricating the rape claims.

"You will be mine forever," Tate is alleged to have told her in a WhatsApp message on February 4, 2022.
He is alleged to have even discussed marriage with her, but insisted that she must be on his "side".
The woman is alleged to have moved to be with Tate, a former kickboxer, the following month.
Andrew, 36, first met his alleged rape victim on Instagram in January 2022.
They then met up in person in London in February and she then moved to Romania in March.
WhatsApp exchanges between them in the documents cover the period from February 4 to April 8.
The Moldovan woman has not yet commented on the case.
Andrew and Tristan, 34, are being probed by Romania's specialised organised crime unit DIICOT.
They have been detained since being arrested in December.
Prosecutors allege he used deception and intimidation to bring the six victims under their control and "transform them into slaves".
The Tates' lawyer Vidineac claims that the women were not mistreated and they were not forced into sex work.
And two of the women - named as Beatrice and Iasmina - appeared on Romanian TV to insist they are not "victims".
But the other four alleged victims have not yet commented on the case.
Prosecutors allege Tate - a popular influencer who self describes himself as a misogynist - controlled the women's earnings on OnlyFans.
Tate has previously bragged he had 75 women working for him earning him approximately £500,000 a month.
He built up an image that appealed to teenage boys - creating an online empire that made him one of the most searched people on Google.
He showed off expensive cars, hung out with glamorous women, and smoked cigars.
Masquerading as lifestyle advice, much of the content is actually highly sexist and promotes violence against women.
His influence has had a worrying spread amongst young men and boys, with one UK MP saying he is "brainwashing" children.
Now many of his cars have been locked up by Romanian cops, who have seized more than £3million worth of assets from him.
Tate initially gained fame after a short-lived appearance on Big Brother.
He was dumped from the reality show after alleged footage of him beating a woman emerged online.
Since then he has sparked revulsion and outrage with a wave of warped content online.
Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones called on the UK Government to take action on the spread of Tate's content - with teachers already revealing a worrying spread in schools.
"Schools across the UK are in crisis as the effect of online influencer Andrew Tate’s vile misogyny infiltrates our classrooms and society," said Ms Davies Jones MP.
"Teachers are now having to develop their own resources to re-educate boys who are being brainwashed online by his deeply toxic messaging."
And experts from The RAP Project, which runs workshops about rape, consent and sexual assault, have increasingly had be called in to tackle the spread of Tate's influence.
Meanwhile, the NSPCC has called on tech companies to do more to tackle hate content like Tate's online.
Rani Govender, the leading charity's child safety online policy officer, said: “This sexist content is shaping boys’ attitudes and behaviour, causing harm to girls in and out of school and online.”
Washington DC-born Tate was banned from Twitter in 2017 for violating its terms of service with his controversial comments.
In August, Tate was banned from a range of other social media sites - only to then be reinstated on Twitter after the company was taken over by Elon Musk.
"Andrew and Tristan vehemently deny all accusations made against them," a spokesman for the Tates told The Sun Online.
