Andrew Tate is accused of possessing 'extreme pornography' allegedly depicting sexual intercourse with a horse and an eel, according to extradition documents submitted by British authorities.

The allegations form part of a wider criminal case against Tate, 39, and his brother Tristan, 38. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided to prosecute Andrew Tate on additional charges involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography, as well as further counts of rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The brothers deny the allegations and have not yet appeared before a British court in relation to the charges.

Disturbing Material Allegedly Found on Device

The extradition papers allege that British investigators found footage involving a horse and an eel on a device attributed to Andrew Tate. The specific descriptions of the alleged material come from the documents and are not findings of fact.

The CPS said Andrew Tate faces 19 additional charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. The alleged offences date from July 2010 to August 2017.

The CPS stressed that its decision to prosecute is not a finding of guilt or criminal conduct. It said its role is to independently assess whether charges should be presented for a court to consider, and warned that the proceedings are active and the defendants are entitled to a fair trial.

Documents Detail Separate Child Image Allegations

The extradition papers also describe an allegation involving a sexualised video in which Tate and an adult woman are alleged to appear alongside a female child. Another allegation, according to the extradition documents, concerns a WhatsApp group chat involving Andrew Tate and three other people. The documents allege that Tate sent images of a child and stated that she worked on a webcam.

The documents allege that Tate wrote, 'One guy said he would pay her $1,000 every day if she could f*** herself. So I told her she had to do it.' Tate then allegedly sent a video involving the child, accompanied by the message, 'And finally she learnt how.' He is also alleged to have shared a screenshot showing a $1,000 payment into a bank account before stating, 'This man sends me $1,000 every day.'

Prosecutors Allege 'Lover Boy' Scheme

The newly published documents also provide a fuller account of the wider British prosecution case. British law enforcement alleges that the Tate brothers used a 'lover boy' model to lure women with promises of romantic relationships before coercing them into producing online pornography.

According to a Bedfordshire Police detective's summary cited by Reuters, women were allegedly encouraged to travel to Romania after being told they could pursue relationships and earn money through Andrew Tate's webcam business. Once there, the detective's summary alleges, the women became financially dependent on the brothers, who often confiscated their passports.

'The prosecution case is that Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate used and threatened physical and sexual violence in order to maintain control and compliance,' the detective wrote, according to Reuters.

Tate Brothers Challenge Extradition

The case has put renewed focus on Tate, a former professional kickboxer who gained wider public attention after appearing on the UK reality show Big Brother in 2016. He later built a large online following by promoting views on masculinity, relationships, wealth, and success, with clips of his speeches and interviews widely circulated on social media.

His online presence grew into a prominent social media profile, while his comments about women drew widespread scrutiny. His rise as an influencer preceded the criminal investigations and legal proceedings that later involved him and his brother in the UK and Romania.

The brothers were arrested in Miami on 18 July after Britain sought their extradition from the US. They are dual US and British citizens and remain in custody in Miami as they contest the extradition proceedings. A final hearing date has not yet been set.

Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, has challenged the extradition case, arguing that the identities of the alleged victims have not been disclosed to the defence. McBride said the accusations could not be 'meaningfully tested' and argued, 'No American court should be asked to surrender a person to a foreign country on the word of secret accusers.'

The brothers also face separate legal proceedings in Romania, where they have been under investigation over alleged offences since 2022. Both deny wrongdoing.
