BUCHAREST, Romania—A court in Romania’s capital on Tuesday ruled to extend by another 30 days the house arrest of Andrew Tate, the social media influencer who is charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

The decision at the Bucharest Tribunal comes a month after prosecutors formally indicted the 36-year-old social media star along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women in the same case. All four defendants—who were arrested in late December near Bucharest and have denied the allegations against them—will remain under house arrest for 30 more days.
