A federal court in Manhattan has sentenced three brothers, Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, to 30 years in prison each for decades of rape. The brothers, who hold Israeli citizenship and hail from a wealthy Israeli-American family, were also ordered to pay at least $300,000 in fines. Oren Alexander received an additional $50,000 fine for creating a video of the sexual assault of a 17-year-old victim.
Prosecutors stated that the brothers' actions over two decades affected at least 70 women. The crimes, which occurred in locations including the Hamptons, Aspen, and Miami, involved luring women with promises of luxury vacations, drugging them, and then raping them. During the sentencing hearing, 11 victims spoke, and prosecutor Elizabeth Espinoza described the crimes as "sexual offenses of unprecedented scale."
The brothers denied the allegations of rape and drug use in their final statements, which Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed as lies. Caproni rejected the prosecution's request for life sentences but imposed a term twice as long as the defense had sought. The judge recommended the brothers be housed in Florida but in separate facilities, citing their negative influence on each other.
Oren and Tal Alexander were previously involved in New York's high-end real estate market, handling deals up to $240 million, while Alon managed the family's security firm. All three have been in custody since 2024. Their parents and wives were absent from the sentencing, with only their older brother, Niv, present. Their lawyer, Deanna Paul, stated the defendants asked their parents not to attend to spare them the distress.
