Real Estate Brokers Face Sex Crimes Trial Amidst Political Skepticism
The Alexander Brothers, known for their opulent lifestyles in the Hamptons and South Beach, are facing a sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan. Prosecutors allege Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander sexually assaulted, trafficked, and raped dozens of women from 2008 to 2021, often drugging their victims and recording the crimes. The brothers, who frequented high-end social circles, allegedly met victims at nightclubs and parties, luring them with luxurious trips before the assaults. The defense denies the allegations, claiming the government lacks physical evidence and that the charges misrepresent consensual relationships, while promising to demonstrate that the prosecutors are turning innocent encounters into criminal activity.
