Prosecutors demand life sentences for Alexander brothers for violence

U.S. prosecutors have demanded life sentences for Oren's brothers, Alon and Tal Alexander, who were found guilty of sexual exploitation. At least 70 women have been raped or sexually assaulted by at least one of their brothers.

Oren and Tal sold luxury real estate and worked with wealthy clients. Alon ran a family security company. In March, a jury found the brothers guilty of several counts, including trafficking for sexual exploitation. The sentence is scheduled for October 27, ABC News reports.

According to prosecutors, the first attacks date back to 2001-2002, when the brothers were still in school. They subsequently invited the women to expensive resorts and parties, where the prosecution found they were drugged and abused.

11 victims took part in the trial. Some said they lost orientation and control of the body after the drinks were offered. The prosecutor's office insists that this is a long-term series of crimes.

The defense asks to appoint each 15 years - the minimum term for the relevant charge. Lawyers say the brothers continue to deny guilt and expect to challenge the indictment. Since their detention in 2024, all three have been in custody.
