Two accusers of Andrew Tate, who is charged with human trafficking and rape in Romania, have been the victims of 'targeted' harassment designed to 'scare them into silence,' their legal adviser in the U.S. tells ABC News.
Dani Pinter, senior legal counsel at the U.S.-based nonprofit National Center on Sexual Exploitation, is the pro-bono attorney advising two women -- one from Florida and the other Moldovan-British -- whom Romanian prosecutors allege were lured to Romania and then sexually exploited. One of the women alleges she was raped.
"It's incredibly oppressive," Pinter said. "Because they feel afraid for their safety and for their loved ones and for anyone they engage with, it's incredibly isolating. It's incredibly exhausting and frightening." "We are evaluating next steps as we wait for them to give formal notice, but we do not believe the lawsuit has any merit," the center told ABC News in a statement on Friday.The Tate brothers were arrested in Bucharest last December and subsequently held in jail for three months before being released and placed under house arrest in their home on the outskirts of the Romanian capital, where they have lived since 2017. The pair remain in custody under house arrest there.
"The same strategy that he used to indoctrinate thousands of young men created a readymade army of trolls," Pinter told ABC News. "So he's able to engage this mob to very quickly harass and target these women." The spokesperson also pointed to recent Twitter posts from the Tate brothers, in which they told their followers, "Leave personal attacks and insults out of it," and, "We win with love, not insults."
