The UK is considering submitting an extradition request to the US for the Tate brothers, according to reports.
Andrew, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, flew to Florida by private jet from Romania on Thursday, where they are under investigation for sex trafficking.
The siblings credited US president Donald Trump for “feeling safe” upon their return to the US, despite Mr Trump claiming he knew nothing about them.
British home secretary Yvette Cooper is exploring legal options to extradite the pair to the UK, where they also face rape and human trafficking charges, The Daily Telegraph reported.
It comes after Florida governor Ron DeSantis said the pair were not welcome in his state and lawyers were looking at “dealing” with their arrival.
“Florida is not a place where you're welcome with that type of conduct,” he said. “Our attorney general is looking into what jurisdictions we have to deal with this.”
Tate, a self-described misogynist, had been recently released from house arrest but was not allowed to leave Romania.
