Extradition Filing: Andrew Tate Sent Tristan Indecent Child Images While Computing How Much Money She Made Them

A UK extradition filing alleges that Andrew Tate sent his brother Tristan indecent images of a girl under 18 in 2014 and later discussed earnings generated through her webcam work. The document describes WhatsApp exchanges between the brothers, including a calculation attributed to Andrew concerning daily webcam tokens.

The allegations appear in materials supporting the UK's formal request to extradite Andrew from the United States. Both brothers deny wrongdoing. The filing presents the authorities' account of the evidence, not a finding of guilt.

Filing Describes Alleged Image Exchanges and Webcam Earnings

According to the filing, Andrew sent Tristan two indecent images of the girl on 8 June 2014 and another image on 1 December that year. The document describes at least 350 WhatsApp messages exchanged between the brothers from 8 June 2014 to 1 January 2015.

The filing also says a device attributed to Andrew received a video presentation from Tristan on 29 December 2014. It describes Tristan discussing income generated through the girl's webcam work and proposals for structuring the business and maximising earnings.

A response attributed to Andrew concerned a calculation of daily webcam tokens based on a six-day working week. Tokens represent a measure of webcam earnings in the exchange; the passage does not establish their cash value or specify completed payments between the brothers.

The alleged image transmissions and the later earnings discussion occurred on separate dates. They should not be understood as a single simultaneous exchange.

Separate passages describe a June 2015 WhatsApp group chat involving Andrew and three other people. In that account, investigators allege that Andrew shared a screenshot showing a $1,000 (around £755) payment and made statements about receiving money from the girl's webcam activity. Those allegations are distinct from the 2014 exchanges with Tristan.

How Investigators Attribute the Messages

The filing sets out the material investigators say links Andrew to the WhatsApp account and exchanges, including account information and other evidence recovered from devices attributed to him.

Detective Constable Lee-Anne Marshall's statement says police seized a white iPhone from Andrew while he was in custody on 18 July 2015. A Samsung phone and laptop were also seized during a search of his address that day.

The attribution forms part of the prosecution account. Whether the evidence establishes responsibility for the alleged offences remains a matter for the legal proceedings.

In an X post on 8 October 2026, Andrew disputed ownership of the phone associated with separate group-chat allegations, writing: 'IT WASN'T EVEN MY PHONE.' He also claimed that police had destroyed seized devices and were relying on a retained download.

Those statements are his account, not independently established facts. His post did not specifically address the alleged 2014 WhatsApp exchanges with Tristan described in the filing.

Additional Charges Include Child-Image and Extreme-Pornography Allegations

The Crown Prosecution Service announced further charges against both brothers on 19 July 2026, relating to four additional alleged victims and offences said to have occurred between July 2010 and August 2017.

Andrew faced 19 additional charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography, alongside further rape, trafficking and assault charges. Tristan faced additional rape, sexual assault and trafficking charges.

The extradition statement describes 42 UK charges against Andrew. However, an accompanying US State Department declaration specifies that three Category C indecent images of a child charges were not referred to the US court for extradition consideration.

The charges and supporting accounts remain allegations. The filing is not a determination that either brother committed the offences.

Brothers Separately Challenge Their US Detention

Andrew and Tristan filed a federal habeas corpus case in the Southern District of Florida on 7 October 2026. The case is listed as Tate et al v. Blanche et al, number 1:26-cv-27049.

The challenge concerns their continued detention in the United States while extradition proceedings continue. Its filing does not establish that their detention is unlawful or that they are entitled to release.

The extradition proceedings concern whether the brothers should be surrendered to the UK to face criminal charges. The detention challenge concerns the lawfulness of keeping them in US custody. Neither process, by itself, determines whether the underlying allegations are true.
