Women described a rape in a shower and a rape at a Hamptons property
Attorneys said in a sentencing submission to the court ahead of the brothers’ Manhattan hearing: “The defendants felt empowered to take whatever they wanted from any woman or girl who agreed to get on a plane, go to a party or sit at their table at a nightclub.” The submission said the defendants made no effort to have consensual sex with the victims because they did not want that. Instead, they slipped drugs into drinks and forced themselves on the victims.
In the same submission, the attorneys said the defendants “acted to exert maximum domination over their victims.” The filing said: “The drugs they used not only rendered a victim immobile, but also impacted her ability to remember every detail of her assault.” It added: “The defendants’ pattern of mocking and humiliating their victims served the defendants’ goal of maximally dehumanizing these women, and it also shamed the victims into silence.”
The submission was filed ahead of the brothers’ sentencing hearing in Manhattan on Tuesday. Prosecutors said the brothers’ easy access to money and women allowed them to exploit their victims and lure them to parties or on luxury trips, during which the Alexanders would drug and rape them, either together or in the company of others.
Victim statements
A dozen of the brothers’ victims spoke at the sentencing hearing in Manhattan on Tuesday. Several of the women gave testimony using pseudonyms and told of how the assaults by the brothers had destroyed their lives and their ability to trust other people.
“I carry a quiet funeral in me for the person I might have become had this not happened to me,” one woman said. She described being raped by Tal Alexander in August 2014 and said the attack changed the way she approached relationships. The hearing also included the statement: “Every second that Tal raped me in that shower felt like an eternity of terror.”
Another woman told the court she was raped at a property in the Hamptons after she was drugged and led into a bedroom. “What looked like a beautiful place became for me a mansion of horror, a mansion of dark secrets,” she said.
The three brothers, dressed in tan prison suits, sat impassively as they listened to the women speak. During their trial, their lawyers conceded that the brothers were “womanizers,” said they were sorry for being “insensitive toward the feelings of certain women at certain times,” and maintained that all the sexual encounters were consensual.
Sentencing and prison placement
Each of the three brothers received a 30-year prison sentence in New York on Tuesday for sex trafficking, following convictions in March on multiple charges after a five-week trial that heard details of years of sexual assaults committed in Miami, New York and other high-end locations, including the Hamptons, Aspen, Colorado, and on a Caribbean cruise.
U.S. district court judge Valerie Caproni said she believed the brothers should not be incarcerated at the same prison because they were a bad influence on each other. The brothers’ lawyers argued Tuesday that they should be able to serve their sentences together.
The brothers’ business background
Twins Oren and Alon Alexander were 39, and Tal Alexander was 40. The brothers moved from Florida to New York in 2008. The three Florida brothers came from a family with a luxury real-estate business. Oren and Tal Alexander were star representatives at the real-estate firm Douglas Elliman before forming their own brokerage, Official, which made hundreds of millions of dollars selling condominiums to wealthy and celebrity clientele. Alon Alexander ran their family’s private security company and was involved in a lifestyle that included superyachts, private jets, exotic overseas trips and parties at waterfront mansions in Miami and elsewhere.
After the Real Deal report
Dozens of other women came forward after allegations against the Alexanders appeared in a June 2024 article published by the Real Deal, a real estate news outlet. At least 70 women were raped or sexually assaulted by the men, prosecutors said in an earlier court filing that described them as “serial rapists.”
