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.

    For me, it’s very simple. I just talk to my daughter about what she’s watching. Maybe that’s not enough for some parents. Maybe their kids won’t tell them. I’m sure my daughter doesn’t tell me everything she watches (I bet she watches porn sometimes), but I have a general idea of what she believes overall about the world, so I know what she is watching is not doing harm. She’s a very caring, empathetic person who wants to make the world a better place.

      I’m sure you’re doing a great job, but I guess the subject was inceldom and the influence of Tate et al. As a woman myself, I know stranger danger in all mediums has been on the mind of every woman, since I was a child. It’s the boys that the influence can turn to dangerous and rotten places, to the detriment of, in the case of incel ideologies, the safety of women.
