As we previously reported, Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested Saturday in Miami after U.K. prosecutors announced new criminal charges against them.

The latest case includes allegations of rape, assault, human trafficking, offenses involving indecent images of a child, and extreme pornography.
The new charges relate to four additional alleged victims following evidence submitted by Bedfordshire Police.
The Tate brothers have denied the allegations against them.
The timing has brought renewed attention to anyone publicly associated with the Tates, including The Nine Club podcast's very own Roger Bagley.
Bagley was seen in a photo in which he appears to make the hand sign that many people associate with Andrew.
The gesture quickly caught the attention of skateboarders, especially with the latest news surrounding the Tate brothers.
Skateboarding journalist Robert Brink also brought more attention to the photos by sharing multiple images of Bagley making the gesture on social media.
Brink wrote:
"Been working on a piece about skateboarding's YouTube Manosphere for a few months now and the timing of Louis Theroux's new documentary is cosmically impeccable ..."
By sharing more than one image of Bagley alongside his comment, Brink connected the photos to his upcoming story about skateboarding and the online manosphere.
For supporters of Andrew, the hand sign represents confidence, discipline, resilience, and the belief that men should take responsibility and accountability for protecting and providing for their families.
Part of Tate’s appeal among his followers comes from his messaging around self-improvement, financial success, becoming more confident, attracting women, and achieving a lifestyle associated with wealth, luxury cars, and millionaire status.
Many supporters view that content as motivation for men to improve themselves and pursue greater success.
On the other hand, haters see it very differently and argue that it has become linked to ideas they consider harmful or representative of toxic masculinity.
Bagley has openly spoken in the past about struggling with his mental health.
He has shared that there was a time when he experienced suicidal thoughts and felt like giving up.

Discovering Andrew's content changed the way he looked at life. Bagley has credited that mindset with helping him become mentally stronger and encouraging him to stop seeing himself as a victim of his circumstances.
The message was about developing discipline and refusing to quit during difficult times. Those ideas became an important part of how he approached life after going through some of his lowest moments.
That background gives additional context to why some believe Bagley's recent hand sign was a personal expression rather than a response to the latest legal developments involving the Tate brothers.

Reactions remain divided in the skateboarding community.
Some see Bagley's gesture as an expression of appreciation for the motivational lessons he says helped him overcome personal struggles.
Others argue that any public display associated with Andrew is controversial given the ongoing criminal cases.
