Tate brothers are being threatened, treated like Jeffrey Epstein in jail, their lawyer says

MIAMI –– The Tate brothers are being harassed by other inmates and treated like Jeffrey Epstein while they await extradition in a Miami lockup, their lawyer has claimed.

Controversial “manosphere” influencers Andrew Tate, 39, and his brother Tristan, 38, were arrested by US Marshals at a bare-knuckle boxing event in Miami on July 18 and are being held in secure housing in federal detention.

The brothers are fighting extradition to the UK, where they face a combined total of 59 criminal charges there, including rape, sex trafficking and offenses related to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

The charges have “put a target on their back for them to get stabbed, jumped, murdered,” their lawyer Joe McBride told reporters after a scheduling hearing in court Monday.

“Every time somebody walks by their cell they get called a word that starts with a ‘P’ that’s more appropriate to (Jeffrey) Epstein and not appropriate to them,” McBride said, speaking outside the C. Clyde Atkins U. Courthouse.

“There’s a pecking order in jail, it’s very real, and when you come in with those allegations, there’s no excuses.”

McBride added that the child sex claims meant that the brothers are seen as “fair game” and the public is “greenlighting for them to get murdered in jail.”

“These allegations against them are the worst for a multitude of reasons, it’s one of the reasons why they’re in solitary,” he said. “We hope to get them out.”

Federal Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis set a date Monday for a detention hearing on whether the brothers can be released on bail while awaiting extradition to be held on Aug. 13.

It means the Tates will remain in jail for two more weeks at the very least as they fight against being sent to the UK in a process which could last months.

McBride told The Post Monday he was hopeful the brothers will be released on bail but admitted “it’s a tall climb” because the presumption is against bail unless defendants can prove special circumstances, which he believes they can.

The Tates –– who are dual US and UK citizens –– did not attend Monday’s hearing, but they did make a brief appearance in court two days after their arrest.

Andrew Tate’s X account –– which McBride told The Post is being updated by his team as he does not have access to a phone –– has repeatedly stated that he is being held in the jail’s special housing unit and has “no commissary, no phone calls, no yard time”.

It has also claimed that his neighbor is “a cannibal who screams throughout the night.”

Judge Louis gave the brothers’ legal team until Aug. 5 to file a motion for the brothers to be released on bail and prosecutors until Aug. 10 to respond before the hearing.

Prosecutors in Britain have said the latest charges were brought forward after British police investigated claims made by an additional four victims.

The new claims are the latest in a long-running international legal battle involving the Tates which has spanned the US, Britain and Romania.

The brothers are being criminally prosecuted in Romania over allegations which include having sex with a minor, trafficking minors, running an organized crime operation and money laundering.

The pair vehemently deny all the allegations against them, with Andrew’s X account claiming that he is being held as a “political prisoner.”
