Andrew Tate charged with rape and human trafficking
(www.bbc.co.uk)
I feel like knowing anything about that guy makes my life worse.
You're not wrong in that assessment.
Finally some good news!
Good riddance, now to hope he gets convicted
I hope they get a fair trial, are allowed to present their defense, and are treated properly by the courts as defendents.
If they're found guilty I hope they're given a very long sentence in a very dark hole. No, I won't shed a tear if they're convicted. They're both human pieces of shit. If they're tried and convicted pieces of shit then the world will be a little bit better while they're incarcerated.
The evidence for sex trafficking is overwhelming. He snitched on himself over and over, and all that stuff is admissible. So ya, fair trial or not, he belongs in prison. Everyone deserves a fair trial.
On one hand I'm pretty sure we all can be pretty confident he's guilty
On the other I wish everyone acted more like this instead of treating the idea of making a rich person go to court to find out the truth like it's an attack
CoughTrumpcough
Can we not make Lemmy all about divisive American politics please? :)
OOTL: who is he and why is this a story?
He's a self-help guru who primarily targets young men and is notable for being comically misogynistic and essentially equating women to inanimate objects. Unfortunately, he has a huge cult following in spite or maybe even because of this.
Massively popular influencer who bragged about sex trafficking, avoiding taxes with crypto, and had courses on how to become a sex trafficker. He talks about women as if they’re literal property, and brags about using coercion to exploit women into sex work, and using fraud to take their money. That’s the legal definition of sex trafficking.
He moved to a county where he bragged that he can’t be touched because it’s so corrupt and he can just pay them off. Said country arrested him and charged him with the crimes he openly articulated committing, and a little rape for the cherry on top.
His popularity cannot be overstated. He had 25 million people watching his stream at one time. That’s like Super Bowl numbers. His fans are a cult. He redpilled millions of incels and insecure teenagers.
Here’s a legal breakdown:
Obviously investigators would have additional evidence.
