Andrew Tate, the self-proclaimed "misogynist" online influencer, was appearing in a Bucharest court alongside his brother Wednesday on charges of human trafficking and rape.
Tate told reporters as he entered the Bucharest Tribunal that he believes "in God and I believe in the justice system, and we are going to be OK."
He and his brother, Tristan, were surrounded by four bodyguards, who pushed media out of their way as they made their way inside the courthouse.
When asked by one reporter if he was a rapist, Andrew Tate responded: "Of course not, don't ask me stupid questions."
The pair looked in good spirits as they smiled and waved despite the seriousness of the charges that were laid against them on Tuesday, which include human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal group to sexually exploit women.
The judge is expected to rule on the pair's house arrest and set a trial date.
The Tate brothers are the highest-profile suspects to face trial on human-trafficking charges in Romania.
