Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has been refused an appeal against his detention by a Romanian court.
The 36-year-old is the subject of an organised crime investigation along with his brother Tristan.
They were arrested on December 29th on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group to exploit women.
Police allege "the victims were "recruited" by the British citizens, who they said misrepresented their intention to enter into a relationship with the victims - which they called "the loverboy method" according to the BBC.
They were later forced to perform in pornographic content under threat of violence, a statement alleged.
Tate has built up a reputation for making misogynistic comments online to millions of followers.
