Last year, UltraViolet, a gender-justice organization, launched a campaign online and with posters hung through Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood marking Andrew (Tate) as “Unwanted in Miami.” They branded him a “sexual predator imported to the U.S. by President Donald Trump.”
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami after British authorities issued 38 new charges against the pair over the weekend. The brothers were arrested on Saturday (July 18) on an extradition request from British authorities.
A news release from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Andrew had been charged with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.
‘‘These cases are both examples of rape culture at work,’’ said Karin Roland, chief campaigns officer at the women’s advocacy group UltraViolet.

It will air on NBC stations in Seattle and Baltimore on Tuesday, when the networks will air the U.S. women’s soccer team’s game against Colombia at 6 p.m., and on news sites for sports outlets like ESPN and Sports Illustrated.
