Prosecutors have accused former kickboxing star and right-wing personality Andrew Tate, 36, of intimidating and deceiving six women to "transform them into slaves."
Bucharest court officials released a 61-page document covering a hearing from Dec. 30, 2022, one day after Tate and his 34-year-old brother Tristan were arrested on human trafficking and rape charges in Romania, Reuters reported.
The document reportedly contained dozens of WhatsApp messages Tate sent to at least one of the women involved in the human trafficking operation, offering her love and a new life in exchange for her loyalty.
"You must understand that once you are mine, you will be mine forever," he said on Feb. 4, 2022, in a push to get the woman to join him in Romania. The text included in the document from Romanian prosecutors was translated by Reuters from Romanian to English.
"Nothing bad will happen," he then apparently wrote Feb. 9. "But you have to be on my side."
Within the next month, Tate reportedly raped the woman twice and forced her to join his alleged human trafficking scheme that involved making pornography for the online platform OnlyFans.

The Tate brothers' attorney, Eugen Vidineac, has not commented on the release of the document. According to court documents, he has reportedly claimed the women involved in the operation were not mistreated and "lived off the backs of the famous Tates."
"They were joyful, and nobody was forcing them to do these things," he claimed, according to Reuters.
Vidineac also accused one of the alleged victims of lying about the rape claims, saying she and Tate had sex and claiming it was consensual.
Two of the six women, identified as Beatrice and Iasmina, reportedly told a Romanian TV station last month that they are not victims and suggested the Tates were innocent.
The other four women have not publicly commented on the charges.
The Tate brothers remain in police custody.
