Former professional kickboxer and internet personality Andrew Tate has been accused by British authorities of possessing disturbing and explicit material, including alleged images and videos depicting s+xual acts involving live animals, according to newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ.
The allegations were contained in a major filing connected to the UK’s efforts to extradite Tate from the United States. Authorities allege that Tate possessed explicit material involving a horse and an eel, as well as other extreme p%rnography depicting acts that could cause serious genital injuries.
Prosecutors also accuse Tate of making and possessing numerous indecent images and videos involving a minor.
In one alleged video, authorities claim Tate was on a bed with a girl believed to be 17, who was wearing lingerie and k+ssing his neck while another adult woman was present. Prosecutors reportedly say messages indicate Tate knew she was underage, including an alleged message warning that her age could lead to legal problems.
The UK case against Tate includes allegations of r@pe, a§§ault, human tr@fficking, controlling prostitution for gain and possession of extreme p%rnography. British authorities formally requested his extradition from the US in September.
Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, are currently in Miami while fighting the extradition proceedings.
However, Tate’s lawyer, Joseph McBride, has rejected the allegations, describing them as “prosecution slop.” He claims authorities are linking Tate to a device allegedly recovered from a “flop house” without evidence that Tate ever watched the videos on it.
McBride also said one of the clips was a war video shared in an MMA fighters’ group chat and claimed UK authorities no longer have the device. He described the case as “as weak as it gets.”
