Three Brothers Get 30 Years for Raping Dozens of Women

Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and Tal Alexander, 40, were convicted in March on multiple charges after a five-week trial heard details of years of sexual harassment committed in Miami, New York and other prestigious venues including the Hamptons, Aspen, Colorado, and while on a Caribbean cruise.

A dozen of their victims spoke at the brothers' sentencing hearings in Manhattan on Tuesday. Several women testified Tuesday using aliases and spoke about how the brothers' attacks destroyed their lives and their ability to trust other people.

“I quietly mourn the person I could have become if it hadn’t happened to me,” said one woman, who revealed she was raped by Tal Alexander in August 2014 and said the attack changed her approach to relationships. Every second Tal raped me in the shower felt like an eternity of terror.

Another woman told the court she was raped at a house in the Hamptons after being drugged and led into a bedroom. “What seemed like a beautiful place became for me a mansion of horrors, a mansion of dark secrets,” she said.

The three brothers, dressed in brown prison suits, listened impassively to the women's speech. During the trial, their lawyers admitted that the brothers were "babbers" and said they apologized for being "insensitive to the feelings of certain women at certain times," but argued that all sexual encounters were consensual.

The brothers moved from Florida to New York in 2008. Oren and Tal Alexander were prominent representatives of the real estate firm Douglas Elliman before founding their own brokerage, Official, which made hundreds of millions of dollars selling apartments to wealthy clients and celebrities.

Alon Alexander ran their family's private security venture and was deeply involved in their lavish lifestyles: superyachts, private jets, exotic overseas trips and parties at coastal mansions in Miami and elsewhere.

Easy access to money and women allowed them to exploit their victims and lure them to parties or luxury trips, during which Alexandra drugged and raped them, either together or in the company of other people, prosecutors said.

"They acted in a way that ensured maximum dominance over their victims," the sentencing statement said ahead of Tuesday's hearing.

“The defendants felt entitled to take whatever they wanted from any woman or girl who agreed to board a plane, go to a party or sit at their nightclub table. The defendants made no attempt to have consensual sex with the victims; they did not want to. Instead, they put drugs in their drinks and raped their victims. The drugs they used not only immobilized the victim, but also affected her ability to remember every detail of the attack. The way the defendants humiliated and humiliated their victims served the purpose of the defendants to impersonalize these women as much as possible, and also silenced the victims with shame.

Dozens of other women have come forward with statements after the allegations against the Alexanders were revealed in a sensational article published by real estate news outlet the Real Deal in June 2024.

At least 70 women have been raped or sexually abused by men, prosecutors said in an earlier lawsuit in which they were called "serial rapists.".

U.S. District Court Judge Valerie Caproni said she believes the brothers should not be held in the same prison because they have a bad influence on each other. On Tuesday, the brothers' lawyers said they should be able to serve their sentences together.
