Some of the allegations in the documents seen by the BBC include that Tate:

  • Raped and strangled a woman who was working for his webcam business in 2015

  • Assaulted another woman who was also working for his webcam business at the same time

  • Strangled both of the above women so often that they developed red petechiae - spots from burst capillaries - in their eyes, a common side effect of asphyxia

  • Told a third claimant “I’m just debating whether to rape you or not” before raping and strangling her

  • Strangled a fourth claimant, whom we are calling Sienna, during sex until she lost consciousness, and then continued to have sex with her

      The ones were hearing from are the ones who survived. How many are we not hearing from because they died?

        I get what you mean, but it kinda sounds like you’re saying women aren’t people.

          It really doesn’t. We all know women are people. Saying he likes strangling “people” overlooks the misogyny in his actions… which is pretty much his brand. This particular piece of shit sees women as things that he can control. If anyone doesn’t see them as humans, it’s Tate.

          If someone said “he sure likes wearing pants”, and I said “no, he likes wearing jeans”, that wouldn’t mean jeans aren’t pants, just that jeans are more specific and accurate.

    Just shoot the prick. Fly me to his hotel and I’ll shoot the prick. All I ask is airfare and a meal or two.

      He will definitely get something. Because he’s dumb enough to brag about his crimes in detail, with video evidence, on the internet. It makes me shudder to think how many more like him are out there, who actually have two braincells to rub together and easily evade punishment. And the victims who won’t get compensation or even recognition even if the perpetrator is convicted. Not to speak of their continued suffering.

    It does not end there. I’ve seen a pretty good (not sure that’s the right adjective here though) video about him - the list goes on for ages.

    It was actually a whole series about him & his brother, by Common Sense Skeptic (youtube).

    A travel ban imposed on the brothers in Romania was recently lifted, and they have since travelled to the US and Dubai - something Sienna said was “horrible to see”.

    “Maybe men will look at him and think, ‘oh well if he can get away with that, then so can I’ - and it kind of makes it normalised,” she told the BBC.

    Yep, this is the message we are giving our future generations.

    I dunno, I feel like there’s a bit of a pattern emerging here.
