According to NYT (https://archive.md/4tSmc https://archive.md/4tSmc) the key details of the charges are kept confidential by the prosecutors. Media has implied that Tate running a webcam business is ipso-facto illegal, but it is not--roughly 400,000 women and 5,000 companies do webcams in Romania.
In various recent interviews (Tucker Carlson, Patrick Bet David, both on YouTube), Tate has claimed he is not charged with any sex/violent crimes including rape (contrary to NYT and other reports) nor is he charged with anything in connection to his webcam studio. Tate claims the only charges against him are seducing women (so-called "Loverboy method" of trafficking) to make Tiktok videos for which he did not receive financial compensation. If this is true, I would file it under the "bogus"/"arbitrary" category. (And without victim blaming, I would also observe that any woman who believes Tate's promise of a serious relationship has clearly not done her research.)
Again because the full details of the charges are kept confidential ("Kafka-esque") none of us know, but I would think that Tate (with nudging from his lawyers) would be smart enough not to misrepresent the charges against him in interviews. He will have his day in court, and we will see then.
