A court in Romania's capital on Tuesday ruled to extend by another 30 days the house arrest of Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer who is charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
Human trafficking is a very serious charge. By default, anyone accused of that would fall under the “threat to society” rule. If he’s at home now, his lawyers must have successfully proven that he would keep his head down, or prosecutors simply stopped asking for jail time. Sometimes they do that if they believe it would increase the chances for suspects to cooperate with the investigation. Neither are uncommon, especially for someone who hasn’t been convicted before.
