Regarding his current charges and the outcome of his arrest.
The "exploitation purposes" prerequisite needs to (more or less) be ruled to relate to the sex work that the trafficked persons performed or were intended to perform.
Feb 3, 10:59pm: Will Andrew Tate be found guilty of sex trafficking? → Will Andrew Tate be found guilty of sex/human trafficking? May 18, 5:41am: human (sex) trafficking
Changes to the question are not intended to be material.
@Bebop "Regarding his current charges and the outcome of his arrest."
I think if he was found not guilty or guilty of current charges the market should be closed.
If the charges are withdrawn it should probably be a No, but I can see an argument for NA.
@StephenBuggy "found guilty" is explicit. If charges are withdrawn then he was not found guilty, the bet doesn't stipulate specifically being found guilty through the course of a trial
@SaiVazquez Neither was Julian Assange, smarty pants. Tate (somehow) became a political figure online who was a threat to some US interests, and countries allied to the US will absolutely drag people through the mud on their behalf.

@AndrewCrosse the description says "current charges" which would apply to laid charges at the time the poll was created, this might have been abandoned by the creator though
Which part of
"The "exploitation purposes" prerequisite needs to (more or less) be ruled to relate to the sex work that the trafficked persons performed or were intended to perform."
in the question is unclear? If he is ruled to be guilty of human trafficking, and the court says that he did/intended to force the victims to do sex work, this resolves YES. There's some room for interpretation of the court's decision, but all is reasonably clear to me.
Yeah, what @AIBear said. AFAIK he's accused of trafficking people to work under illegal work conditions in areas unrelated to sex, so question would resolve NO based on that.
@jim this is a translated transcipt of a hearing back in Jan 2023
tate's lawyer is speaking here:
Regarding the material of the charges against the defendants, speaking of the crime of
human trafficking, the prosecutor considers, as well as the modalities. of committing this crime, from the multiple offered by the incrimination norm, first of all recruiting the respective persons by misleading, by exercising acts of mental and physical violence, harboring and transporting the respective persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forcing them to carry out pornographic materials and being subjected to forced labor.
