Romanian prosecutors on Tuesday charged US-British social media influencer Andrew Tate, who has gained millions of fans by promoting an ultra-masculine lifestyle, with human trafficking, rape and forming a gang to sexually exploit women.

Tate was indicted with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects. They are under house arrest pending an investigation into abuses against seven women whom prosecutors said were lured through false claims of relationships. The suspects have denied the accusations.

The Tate brothers, both former kickboxers, are the highest-profile suspects facing trial for human trafficking in Romania.

Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist, has grown his following of mainly young men by building a lavish, hyper-macho image of driving fast cars and dating beautiful women.
