US EditionOpening statements set in sex trafficking trial of 2 real estate agents and their brother
Prosecutors allege the Alexander brothers used luxury travel and parties to traffic and sexually assault dozens of women over 12 years; defense denies claims of nonconsensual acts.
- In Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, prosecutors will outline sex‑trafficking charges against Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander tied to over a 12-year span, according to the indictment.
- Using luxury travel and accommodations, prosecutors say the men conspired to entice women with flights, hotel rooms and parties at New York's Hamptons, Miami, Florida, New York City and Los Angeles, California.
- The indictment says the brothers often drugged victims before assaulting them, and court filings note Alon Alexander graduated from New York Law School and ran the family’s private security firm.
- The brothers have pleaded not guilty and defense lawyers say prosecutors are unjustly criminalizing consensual sex; they located evidence undermining alleged victims' narratives, and the men have been held without bail since their December 2024 arrest in Miami.
- Openings are expected to last less than two hours before evidence presentation begins in the trial, which is scheduled to proceed into a monthlong session.
