The new allegations are the latest in a long-running international legal saga involving the Tates that has spanned the U.S., Britain and Romania.
The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.Attorneys for the brothers said Monday that they want the U.S. government to turn over documents that U.K. officials submitted to secure their arrest.“They don't have anything but the accusations,” attorney Joseph McBride said after the hearing.
“It’s just their word against our word right now.”The U.K. has until mid-September to turn over all of its materials to the State Department, U.S. attorney Alejandra Lopez said in court.The brothers have long claimed that their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes.Jackie Perczek, another one of their attorneys, said the Tates have shown they are not a flight risk by returning to Romania every month after they were accused there of luring women for sexual exploitation.“For three years they have not fled,” she said.
