Moment Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate arrested in Miami, Florida in sexual offenses investigation
MIAMI, Florida — Social media personalities Andrew Tate, 39, and Tristan Tate, 38, were arrested in Miami, Florida, on July 18, 2026, as British authorities pursue extradition proceedings tied to an expanding criminal investigation involving multiple alleged sexual offenses.
The arrests were carried out by the United States Marshals Service following requests from United Kingdom authorities. The brothers are currently being held pending ongoing legal proceedings and extradition efforts initiated by British prosecutors.
According to authorities, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorized 38 additional criminal charges against the Tate brothers after reviewing a new file of evidence submitted by investigators.
The new charges bring the total number of criminal counts against the brothers to 59, with Andrew Tate facing 42 charges and Tristan Tate facing 17 charges.
The allegations stem from investigations conducted by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, involving reports made to both Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary. Authorities said the alleged offenses date back to a period between July 2010 and August 2017.
British prosecutors said Andrew Tate faces several new allegations involving four additional victims.
The newly authorized charges against him include:
- Seven additional counts of rape
- Three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation
- Three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm
- Nineteen additional offenses related to indecent images of a child
- Charges involving alleged extreme pornography offenses
These new allegations significantly expand the case already pending against him.
Prosecutors also approved additional charges against Tristan Tate, including:
- One count of sexual assault
- Two counts of rape
- Three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation
Authorities said the new charges involve alleged offenses connected to multiple victims and incidents spanning several years.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed it is seeking the extradition of both men from the United States so they can face prosecution in the United Kingdom on both the original and newly authorized charges.
Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said prosecutors determined there was sufficient evidence to pursue additional counts following receipt of a further investigative file from Bedfordshire Police.
McHaffie stated that the latest charging decisions increase the total number of alleged victims connected to the case to seven.
He also emphasized that criminal proceedings remain active and urged the public not to publish or share information that could prejudice future court proceedings.
Assistant Chief Constable Karena Thomas said investigators have worked closely with prosecutors and both domestic and international law enforcement agencies throughout what authorities describe as a complex and ongoing investigation.
She noted that law enforcement agencies remain committed to supporting victims and thoroughly investigating all allegations reported to police.
Thomas also urged the public to avoid speculation while legal proceedings continue.
British authorities have not released additional details regarding the evidence underlying the latest charges. The Tate brothers remain presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Extradition proceedings are expected to determine whether Andrew and Tristan Tate will be transferred to the United Kingdom to face the full range of charges authorized by prosecutors.
The case remains active in both the United States and the United Kingdom, with further court hearings anticipated in the coming months.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
