American-Israeli businessmen Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander were sentenced to 30 years in prison each on October 27 in Manhattan federal court for sex trafficking. The five-week trial, one of the largest sex crime cases in New York in recent years, featured testimony from 11 women. Prosecutors alleged the brothers systematically lured women, including minors, isolated them, and sexually assaulted them, sometimes after drugging them. Two charges were dropped when a victim refused to testify after a defense-hired private investigator, posing as an insurance agent, questioned her children. The defense had sought the minimum 15-year sentence, while the brothers maintained their innocence and pleaded for leniency. The judge ordered all three to undergo sex offender therapy and deferred the decision on whether they would be housed in the same facility, as requested, to specialists. The Alexanders deny the charges and plan to appeal the verdict, also seeking a presidential pardon. Oren and Tal Alexander were prominent Manhattan luxury real estate brokers with clients including Tommy Hilfiger and Ivanka Trump. In June 2024, The Real Deal reported on two civil lawsuits accusing Oren and Alon of rape, which led to more women coming forward with accusations against all three brothers. The brothers were arrested in Miami in December 2024. Prosecutors claim the assaults began when the brothers were still in school. More than 20 civil lawsuits for sexual assault are still pending against them.
