The controversial British-American online influencer was recently detained in Romania as a part of a human trafficking and rape investigation - which he denies.
Influencer Andrew Tate 鈥� and everything surrounding him 鈥� is a lively topic of conversation at the moment. His name is all over the internet - he's discussed in households up and down the country and now in schools - where special assemblies and lessons are happening in both primaries and secondaries to challenge his views. Tate is a huge influence on boys and young men - he has 4 and a half million followers on Twitter and is seen on other platforms like Tik Tok - despite being banned from them for misogynistic views. He's also currently detained in Romania as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape, which he denies. For 5 Minutes On, 麻豆社 5 Live Breakfast presenter Rachel Burden speaks with Michael Conroy and Helen Hinde. Michael is the founder and director of Men at Work - a charity that trains professionals who work with boys and young men to facilitate constructive dialogues about being safe around women and girls. Helen is the Assistant Head at Meols Cop high school in Southport.
