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

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

      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.

      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.
