Alexander Brothers Sentenced to 30 Years for Sex Trafficking

Three Alexander brothers convicted of sex trafficking in March faced sentencing Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. Women they assaulted addressed the judge.

• 70-plus women reported assaults by the brothers, prosecutors said.
• 11 women testified during the trial, which ran about five weeks.
• 15 years is the mandatory minimum; prosecutors want life for each brother.
• 180 to 195 years would result from probation's per-victim recommendations.

Why it matters: Oren and Tal Alexander were top luxury brokers with celebrity clients; Alon ran the family security firm. Prosecutors say their assaults began in high school and spanned years.

• Prosecutors say the brothers lured women with luxury trips, then drugged them.
• The brothers have been jailed without bail since their 2024 arrests.
