A Romanian court has ruled to extend the house arrest of Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Tuesday’s decision at the Bucharest Tribunal comes a month after prosecutors formally indicted the 36-year-old former Big Brother contestant along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women in the same case.
