Add The New York Post on Google The pregnant mother of one of alleged rapist Andrew Tate’s children begged for his release in court Thursday — calling him a “great” dad who’s nothing like his misogynistic online persona.
Tate’s girlfriend, Natasha Sesay, took the stand at a federal bail hearing in Miami where the popular “manosphere” influencer and his brother, Tristan, fought to be freed from jail.
Sesay, who is eight months pregnant, said she’s known Tate for about 5 1/2 years and that they already have a child who is 8 1/2 months old.
“It’s a very different character from the person you see online versus the one I know personally,” Sesay said of Tate, according to NBC. “He’s a great father to his children.”
On cross-examination by federal prosecutor Abbie Waxman, Sesay admitted that Tate paid for her home in Dubai along with jewelry, luxury bags and shoes.
Authorities have previously alleged the brothers have tried to influence witnesses’ statements by bribing and threatening them, prosecutors said.
Tate, 39, and his brother, Tristan, 38, have been in federal custody in Miami since July 18 and are fighting extradition to the UK, where they face a slew of rape and sex trafficking charges.
