A British woman tells the BBC how the influencer persuaded her to work for his webcam business.
Sophie, not her real name, says this is exactly what happened to her. She is now helping prosecutors with their investigation.that Tate approached her "completely out of the blue" on Facebook and was very charming.
As their relationship developed, Sophie regularly visited Tate in Romania. He told her he wanted her to be his girlfriend, but soon began asking her to work for him. He describes his job as, "To meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her… get her to fall in love with me, to where she'd do anything I say." The video continues, "And then get her on web-cam so we could become rich together."
"There was some disagreement… he held me up against the wall and he slapped me really hard and followed it with 'you whore,'" she says."Most of the violence was sexual, that's obviously something that he's into. He likes to feel completely in control of the woman and feel like he could take their life away at any second. That is a big sexual turn on for him," she explains.
She describes Tate as a "very complex man" who was quite different to the character he presented online - where he is known for his high-volume rants, often filmed while smoking a cigar or surrounded by his supercars.
