Jurors heard explosive testimony about alleged drugging and humiliating encounters during the trial of twins Oren and Alon Alexander and their older brother Tal.  The defense maintained the brothers innocence throughout.  Oren and Alon Alexander and brother Tal faced an original 12-count indictment for sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. Some counts were dropped.  Now the jury returns a guilty verdict.  They face life in prison. 

The three brothers come from a high-profile real estate background. Tal and Oren brokered a $47 million deal for their father in 2012 and a $240 million Manhattan condo sale in 2019. Alon attended law school before joining the family's private security company, Kent Security.

Each brother has been accused of forcible rape by at least 10 women. All three are indicted on federal sex trafficking charges, while Oren and Alon also face sexual battery charges in Florida.

The Alexanders have denied the allegations in civil cases, with their representatives suggesting the accusers are attempting to extort them.

Court documents detail accounts from alleged victims. "Victim-1" claims she was raped by Tal Alexander and other men in 2021 at a home in the Hamptons. She says she felt unwell after drinking a glass of wine, then recalled Tal holding her down as another man entered the room.

She later woke up in a separate room, where a camcorder was set up.

Another alleged victim, referred to as "Victim-2," told investigators that Oren raped her. She says Oren gave her a cocktail, after which she felt strange and struggled to walk. Alon then took her to a bedroom to lie down. She recalls waking up to find Oren in the room.

He allegedly pulled down her bathing suit and raped her while she was "physically impaired and could not move."

Jury Brings Down Hammer on Alexander Bros Sex Trafficking Trial After They "Celebrated" Rapes

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/9b881e15-d3d6-41a4-9be4-b40e00ea3acc/transcript

This is a tale of two sisters, Karen and Debra.

Karen is loving, responsible, and well-liked by all who know her. She lived with and cared for her parents until they lost their battles with Alzheimer's and cancer. Karen also took care of her finances and was financially well-off for retirement.

Debra was gone for decades, living several states away in Louisiana. She never held a steady job and never had any money.

When their parents died, Debra moved back to Florida, with no money and no place to stay, and Karen let her sister move into her home.

Karen ends up wrapped in a trash bag, dumped in a hole in her backyard, a bullet in her chest. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dig into the story.
