Three New York real estate brothers convicted of sex trafficking face sentencing, with prosecutors seeking life prison sentences.

Three brothers who exploited their wealth and access to luxury real estate to drug and rape dozens of women face sentencing in New York. Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and Tal Alexander, 40, were convicted in March of sex trafficking. Prosecutors said at least 70 women were raped or sexually assaulted by the men over a pattern that began as early as 2001 or 2002 when they were in high school, with victims enticed to join them on luxury getaways.

Oren and Tal Alexander were once nicknamed real estate's 'A Team' for their ultra high-end sales and celebrity clientele at Douglas Elliman, where they smashed sales records before starting their own firm. Alon Alexander ran their family's private security company. The brothers projected a lifestyle of yachts, private jets and waterfront mansions in Miami.

Prosecutors have asked US District Judge Valerie E Caproni to impose life sentences. The brothers' lawyers have asked for 15 years. Defence lawyers said the brothers apologise to women they offended for conduct they admit was 'insensitive toward the feelings of certain women at certain times', though they maintained their innocence overall. Nearly a dozen women are expected to make victim statements at the sentencing on Tuesday. The brothers were arrested in 2024 and have been held without bail since. The judge has said she believes they should not be incarcerated at the same prison.
