Messages seen by the BBC appear to show how the influencer's "War Room" targeted possible victims.

Evidence that dozens of women were groomed into online sex work by members of influencer Andrew Tate’s “War Room” group has been uncovered by the BBC.

Leaked internal chat logs identify 45 potential victims between March 2019 and April 2020 but the total number is likely to be higher.

The texts also appear to show the techniques used by War Room members to exploit possible victims.

    Money. They think that his money, regardless of its nature, is an achievement. That’d be the some as sympathising with bankman fried, cause he got money doing what he did, and they see money=power; while also ignoring the quality and the stability of one’s life: good relationships and proper wellbeing are not things that go hand in hand with huge sums of money, even more so when they are the product of serious crimes. The truth is that doing what he did for his fans means big jail time and misery. I couldn’t imagine growing in this age, bombarded by this kind of information all the time. To me the most controversial thing was an unsuccessful trip with my family, yeah imagine that today…
