Prosecutors allege real-estate trio Tal, Alon and Oren Alexander raped, assaulted and trafficked dozens of women
Prosecutors in New York will tell a jury on Monday that three brothers from a wealthy Florida family raped, sexually assaulted and trafficked dozens of women during a decades-long reign of terror and depravity.
The high-profile trial in Manhattan with elements of money, fame and power has parallels in other recent sex-trafficking cases held there, including the conviction and sentencing of the musician Sean “Diddy” Combs last year on prostitution-related charges.
Tal Alexander, 39, and his younger siblings Alon and Oren, who are 38-year-old twins, face up to life imprisonment if convicted of a range of charges relating to alleged assaults of victims they met in bars, nightclubs, and on dating apps, and whose drinks they are said to have spiked.
The trial in federal court in Manhattan, which observers say could last about a month, will hear that the brothers conspired together and with others to lure the women and attack them.
