I think it is highly unlikely that Tate is completely innocent.
Remember, he was running webcam scams and other shady operations for the past 8 years or so. There's no way his Romanian compound was simply a place where pretty girls voluntarily moved to make Tiktok videos.
There's probably more to the story that we haven't heard. I'm guessing that he's guilty of some things, but some of the other charges are exaggerated.
For example, it could be that the girls had an agreement to work X number of months minimum in exchange for him paying for their transportation from their home country, and some of them decided to back out prematurely, and then he wouldn't let them leave. Obviously I'm not going to defend this, but it makes it more complicated than a situation where he's a cartoonish villain who tricks young women to come to his Romanian compound, and then holds them prisoner and forces them to cam.
I do think that Tate was probably emboldened by years of getting away with everything, and felt like he would never get in any trouble, especially in Romania where he may have bribed some local police and figured he was untouchable.
Bottom line is that right wingers shouldn't be hitching their wagons to this unhinged scammer, but his critics also should refrain from painting him as a supervillain until they have all the facts.
