U.S. Giving Shelter to Alleged Sex Traffickers, Andrew and Tristan Tate

NCOSE Press Statement logo

WASHINGTON, DC (February 27, 2025) – The National Center on Sexual Exploitation Law Center (NCOSE), which represents Jane Doe and others being sued by Andrew and Tristan Tate for being witnesses in the Romanian sex trafficking investigation, responded to news that the Tate brothers have been allowed to leave Romania under judicial control and fly to the United States. 
 
National Center on Sexual Exploitation Senior Vice President and Director of the Law Center Dani Pinter said, “It seems clear the U.S. intervened in Romania to assist the Tate brothers who are being prosecuted for sex trafficking over 35 women including minors. This is a slap in the face to all the victims of the Tate brothers especially the U.S. victim who is not being protected by her country. 

“On the same day the Epstein list is to be released, the U.S. government is facilitating American shelter for well-connected predators yet again. How are our memories so short? Epstein was also investigated and prosecuted in 2008 when the DOJ intervened to give him a sweetheart deal. Like Epstein, there is documented evidence the Tate brothers abused minors. 

“We will not stop fighting for justice for Jane Doe and all the victims of Andrew and Tristan Tate. We demand the United States investigate and prosecute the Tate brothers for the sexual exploitation of minors abroad and sex trafficking.” 
 
Jane Doe, an American citizen, is fighting back against Andrew and Tristan Tate’s lawsuit filed against her for cooperating with Romanian authorities, in a countersuit that represents the first U.S. civil case against the Tate brothers. 
 
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation Law Center is available as a resource for anyone who has experienced sexual exploitation in connection to Andrew Tate or other facets of the commercial sex industry. The NCOSE Law Center has been fighting for justice for survivors who have experienced sex trafficking or abuse, and currently represents survivors of sexual exploitation in litigation against X (formerly Twitter), Pornhub, XVideos, and XHamster.
