Two women who say they were raped and strangled by the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate have spoken to the BBC about their experiences.

Another woman has alleged, for the first time, she was raped by Mr Tate’s younger brother, Tristan - also an influencer with millions of followers.

The Tate brothers, aged 37 and 36, currently face charges in Romania of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also charged with rape.

If found guilty, the two men could be jailed for more than 10 years. They strongly deny the charges against them.

I hate that so many teenage boys are fans of him.

Yeah, that pert is theuch bigger problem, kids actually look up to him.

My step children's real father is a big fan of Tate and keeps telling them how awesome he is and how they should follow nhik in his footsteps.

Thankfully, the kids think he's a loser who abuses women.

There are so few good male role models for teenage boys. I would have said John Cena at one point, but he's decided to shill for the CCP, so not him either. I honestly don't know who teenage boys can turn to at this point.

Schwarzenegger is one.
