Extradition Treaty Basis
The complaint cites a 2003 extradition treaty between the U.S. and UK, as amended in 2004, which allows for provisional arrest before a formal extradition request. The UK seeks Tate's arrest under Article 12 of this treaty while preparing supporting documents. The U.S. government states it is fulfilling its treaty obligations by pursuing this action.

UK authorities accuse Tate of violating Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (rape) and Section 47 of the Offenses Against the Person Act 1861 (assault causing bodily harm). A Westminster Magistrates Court judge issued an arrest warrant on January 19, 2024. The complaint notes the UK may add charges later but currently proceeds only on these two offenses.

The complaint describes allegations from a woman identified as Complainant A, who says Tate choked her unconscious during nonconsensual intercourse in England in early 2015. She claims Tate repeatedly restricted her breathing during the encounter and provided UK investigators with social media messages allegedly exchanged with Tate's verified @CobraTate account. Authorities note this account remains active, with Tate recently posting from Washington, D.C.

A separate accuser, Complainant B, alleges nonconsensual choking during sexual encounters with Tate in 2014 and 2025. She reported one incident left visible neck marks and said she feared for her life. While acknowledging some prior consensual relations, she stated she did not consent to the violent acts described. Both women identified Tate through his media appearances and social media presence.

Prosecutors ask the court to issue an arrest warrant under 18 U.S.C. § 3184 and seal the complaint until execution, citing flight risk concerns. They note Tate was seen in Miami before a scheduled boxing event appearance. The document states the UK will submit formal extradition paperwork within treaty time limits and that provisional arrest is urgent to prevent Tate from leaving the U.S.
