“I loved how you hated the sex. The more you loathed it, the more I liked it,” Tate says in voice memos Amelia received from him.
The influencer and former kickboxer would also have sent Amelia messages in which he wrote that he likes to rape her. “Monsters will always be monsters. When I’m in charge of you, I’ll do what I want to do.” Amelia also has video footage of Tate saying he is “the most dangerous man on the planet”.
wrote earlier this week VICE about another rape allegation against Tate. Two women came out with this in 2015. They also shared text messages that support their story. But the police took no action at the time.
No arrest followed after Amelia’s visit to the police. Now that the influencer is in jail for possible human trafficking and rape, she decided to share her story in the media.
Tate and brother allegedly sexually exploited women
Tate and his brother were arrested in Romania at the end of December. Two Romanians have also been arrested. The influencer appealed, but at the beginning of this week the judge ruled that he will remain detained for the time being.
Prosecutors believe the Tate brothers are behind a criminal organization “for the purpose of recruiting, harboring and exploiting women by forcing them to produce pornographic material that can be viewed online for a fee”. The brothers would have made a lot of money from that.
Tate is notorious for his controversial statements. He was discredited in 2016 when he was removed from the British version of the television program Big Brother was put because a video was leaked online in which he beats a woman with a belt.
In addition, the former kickboxer has been discredited in the past because of hateful comments towards women. He was banned from social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Since the arrival of Elon Musk to Twitter, Tate’s Twitter account has been up and running again.
