Alexander brothers each get 30 years in prison for sex trafficking

Three brothers, once wealthy and influential, were sentenced to a collective 90 years in prison on Tuesday for sexually assaulting women. The convicted men, known as the Alexander Brothers – Tal, Oren, and Alon – were convicted in March of sex trafficking. The sentencing followed the testimony of 11 accusers, who each shared their harrowing experiences of being drugged and raped by the brothers during luxurious getaways.

US District Judge Valerie E. Caproni expressed her disgust with the brothers' actions, stating that their claims of rehabilitation were "hollow." The accusers, who had endured years of trauma, expressed their anger and sorrow at the brothers' sentencing. The judge noted that the brothers' actions destroyed the women's innocence and left them haunted by nightmares and fear.

The Alexander Brothers were once celebrated for their success in high-end real estate sales, but prosecutors claimed they began sexually assaulting women as early as 2001. The defense maintained their clients' innocence, but the judge believed they should not be incarcerated together due to their influence on one another.
