(Reuters) - A woman in the U.S. accused internet personalities Tristan and Andrew Tate of conspiring to coerce her into sex work, luring her to Romania and defaming her after her testimony to Romanian authorities, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday.

The civil complaint in Florida was reported earlier by the New York Times, which said it marked the first suit against the brothers to be filed in the United States.
