Alexander brothers face sentencing for sex trafficking convictions

Summarised from 3 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 27 Oct, 15:14 · Archive

Three brothers convicted of sex trafficking and rape in Manhattan will be sentenced Tuesday, with prosecutors seeking life sentences.

Three brothers — twins Oren and Alon, both 39, and Tal, 40 — will be sentenced on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court after a jury convicted them on federal charges including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, sex trafficking by force and sexual abuse of a minor. Prosecutors are seeking life sentences for all three, arguing their crimes were of 'extraordinary magnitude'. The brothers allegedly spent years luring victims with promises of luxury, drugging them and raping them between 2008 and 2021. They met victims through dating apps and at upscale parties.

Oren and Alon were prominent Manhattan real estate brokers who counted celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West among their clients and helped sell a record-breaking $240 million penthouse. More than 70 women have reported being assaulted by the brothers, with 11 testifying during trial and more than 30 witnesses called by prosecutors in total. Civil lawsuits filed in 2024 prompted dozens more women to come forward with allegations.

Up to a dozen victims are expected to address the court during Tuesday's all-day sentencing hearing before US District Judge Valerie Caproni imposes sentences. The brothers, through their defence attorneys, have denied the charges they were convicted on. One brother's wife has filed for divorce, while the spouses of the other two are expected to attend the hearing.
