BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Conor McGregor has been charged with sexual assault, and Andrew Tate's brother, Tristan Tate, stood in support of McGregor and through a Tweet explained why he wouldn't rape women.
McGregor was accused of raping a woman during the Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets NBA Finals Game 4 on June 9 at the Kaseya Centre in Florida. While the team has refuted the charges, an inquiry is still underway.
'Guilty until proven innocent'
While this isn't the first time McGregor has been accused of committing an assault, Tristan Tate recently tweeted about how the media has handled McGregor's case. Tate tweeted, implying that McGregor was slapped with rape allegations because he is "handsome and famous."
Tate wrote, "Guilty until proven innocent. He’s now a “rapist” forever to everybody who dislikes him. Who’s the girl? Name protected of course. Does anybody take into account that Conor wouldn’t have to rape a woman to have sex because he’s handsome and famous? No. He’s a rapist now."
Following Tate's remark, numerous users expressed their support for McGregor. A user wrote, "Some women would do just about anything to get some bucks or some attention not all, but some."
