Tristan Tate admits to sending text messages referring to girls in a joking way as "my [ __ ]" or "my slave," which were included in his indictment, but he clarifies these were jokes and not evidence of actual slavery.

Tristan Tate, at 36 years old, disagrees with many outlandish statements he made as a young, brash 25-year-old on the internet.

Police found messages on the phones of Tristan Tate's two false accusers where they discussed lying to the police and pretending to cry to appear more victimized.

None of the women interviewed by police claimed to be victims of Tristan Tate, with some even calling him after the interviews to say they told police to "get lost."
