Tate brothers’ lawyer argues they should get away with sex crimes
Andrew and Tristan Tate are currently being held in an American jail while they fight extradition to the UK. Should the authorities extradite the brothers, they will face incredibly serious charges, including the possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). And it’s the seriousness of these charges which makes the following statement from their lawyer so unbelievable:
"Even if you accept all the allegations against them is true, the amount of good they've done for the world tremendously outweighs the bad."

Tate brothers horrific allegations
The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said the following on 19 July:
The CPS has decided to prosecute Andrew Tate, 39, 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.
The CPS has decided to prosecute Tristan Tate, 38, with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.
As the documentarian Gadget noted, the Tates’ lawyer seems to be arguing that the brothers’ behaviour is overall such a positive that they should be allowed to commit a certain amount of crimes – even if said crimes are among the gravest that a person could possibly commit. This would be a ridiculous argument if he was talking about a famous humanitarian; it’s especially grievous when applied to a pair of globally notorious misogynists.
As any teacher can attest, the Tates – especially Andrew – have had a profoundly negative impact on today’s youth. As one noted:
We had some incidents in school with derogatory language towards female staff (eg boys barking at female staff and blocking doorways so they couldn’t leave the classroom), as a direct result of Andrew Tate videos.
The Tates’ influence on the world has been to encourage the hatred of women. Their alleged crimes also centre on the hatred of women. In other words, one does not excuse the other. In fact, the two combined make each other worse (should the crimes be proven in court, obviously).
Foot in mouth
As documented by Gadget, this isn’t the first time lawyer McBride has done a poor job defending his clients. In one recent interview:
Joseph McBride argues that Andrew and Tristan Tate should not be segregated in the Special Housing Unit.
Then, he explains exactly why high-profile prisoners accused of serious sexual crimes against women or children often are.
Gadget also addressed the following talking points from McBride:
- “Tate is not a flight risk because he cooperated with judiciary control in Romania”.
- “We haven’t been given evidence like victim names, witness statements. We demand the evidence and police records from the UK.”
On the former, Gadget notes that the Tates received an unusually lenient deal from Romania. Said deal allows them to “to travel the world freely while charged with crimes as serious as allegedly raping a 15-year-old and trafficking a 17-year-old”. There’s pretty much no chance the UK would offer a such a deal, with the brothers almost certainly facing incarceration until trial (and likely life imprisonment should they lose).
In other words, Romania made it so the Tates weren’t a flight ‘risk’ by simply allowing them to take flight. The same would not be true of the UK.
On the latter point, Gadget noted:
It’s not unusual for the UK not to produce its full evidence at this stage. Extradition hearings aren’t trials – they determine whether someone should be extradited, not whether they’re guilty.
Farage won’t say Andrew Tate is a bad role model for children
Not looking good
There are many who believe that Tate was indeed a human trafficker – specifically because of things like this:
Here he admits in more detail to tricking women, giving them the false impression of love, and using a "bottom bitch" for manipulation for the sole purpose of putting them in front of a camera and making money off of them.

For those who presume the brothers’ guilt, it’s no doubt reassuring to see that their lawyer is such a raging incompetent.
