Alexander brothers found GUILTY of sex trafficking charges that could see playboy brothers imprisoned for life

The Alexander brothers, three multi-millionaire brothers, were convicted of using their wealth and influence to drug and rape multiple women.
Tal, 39, and twin brothers Oren and Alon, 38, were convicted of ten counts by a jury of six women and six men in Manhattan federal court.
The brothers looked stunned when their fate was confirmed; Alon was half-grinning gravely at his devoted wife, Shani, who was sitting next to his parents and had kept her head down, arms crossed and legs crossed throughout the decision.
They will be held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center until sentencing on August 6.
The brothers were accused of drugging and raping dozens of women as part of a predatory campaign that spanned more than a decade.
Their five-week trial heard from 11 accusers who claimed they were attacked in various locations, including the brothers’ home in New York City, during a Colorado ski trip, at their Hamptons mansion and on a trip to the Caribbean.
Each brother carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years to life in prison for charges including sex trafficking, conspiracy and other crimes related to drugs and sexual assault.
The court heard testimony from more than 30 witnesses, including the accusers, who told strikingly similar stories of how the brothers were lured into the playboy lifestyle before they were drugged and assaulted.
In his closing argument, Assistant US Attorney Andrew Jones told jurors that the accounts revealed a disturbing pattern between the brothers taken directly from a rapist’s ‘playbook.’
The trio pleaded not guilty, and their defense sought to show that their sexually explicit behavior was morally reprehensible but not a crime.
The Alexander brothers were found guilty of all charges in the sex trafficking case. They were convicted of ten counts by a jury of seven women and six men in Manhattan federal court. They will be sentenced on August 6

That defense was dashed when the jury delivered its resounding verdict.
Their fourth brother, Niv Alexander, was not involved or accused of any crime.
Before the trial, the government stated that the brothers ‘used their wealth and prominent positions in real estate to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women’.
The tearful statements of the 11 accusers, eight of whom were named in the indictment, strengthened this narrative.
They told how they met the brothers through dating apps, parties and night outs before being promised luxury travel opportunities.
The accounts often began with the brothers offering drinks that the accusers believed contained drugs.
One victim, who goes by the pseudonym Isa Brooks, told the court she felt like she was being ‘mauled by wild animals’ during the alleged rape of Tal, Alon and two other men when she was just 16.
The prosecution also presented a troubling list of texts, videos and blog posts in which the brothers boasted of their victories and openly discussed drug supply.
Their defense tried but failed to dismiss his remarks as bravado and shocking humor.
Alon Alexander was supported by his model wife Shani Zigron throughout the four-week trial.
The parents of high-profile real estate brothers Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander, and Alon Alexander’s wife, Shani Alexander, are reacting to the jury foreman’s reading of the verdict in the federal sex trafficking case.
One particularly harrowing moment in court occurred when jurors were played a video that prosecutors said showed a drugged 17-year-old being raped by then-21-year-old Alon.
The woman, who used the pseudonym Amelia Rosen, said she had no idea about the video until she was contacted by federal prosecutors.
Now that that case is over, Alon and Oren face three state rape charges in Florida, including one for an alleged attack at Alon’s Miami Beach apartment in 2016.
Even before the verdict, the trial had shattered any dignity of the brothers, who had been high-flying family heads before their arrest.
Tal and Oren were known as top real estate agents who sold $100 million worth of properties in the Hamptons, Miami and New York City, while Alon took over at Kent, the family’s multi-million dollar security company.
All three are married, but Tal’s wife, Arielle, became estranged and filed for divorce soon after his arrest and the birth of their first child.
Alon’s wife, former Victoria’s Secret model Shani Zigron, has been his unwavering supporter; He dutifully attended every hearing and mostly kept his cool during victim testimonies.
Oren’s model wife, Kamila Hansen, attended the hearing several times and appeared in court only briefly twice.
Before the hearing, the brother’s parents, Orly and Shlomy Alexander, sided with the trio, insisting: ‘We know who our sons are.’

But even they cringed at points during the explosive evidence as father Shlomy walked out of the courtroom to avoid having to hear quotes read aloud from a vulgar blog detailing Alon and Oren’s sexual conquests.
Explosive evidence wasn’t the only drama during the trial.
Two charges relating to alleged attacks in the Hamptons in 2009 were dropped due to what the prosecution described as ‘witness intimidation’.
There were also juror problems at the trial; one man had to be dismissed after it was heard he had reached a decision before the evidence was concluded.
Another juror had to serve as an alternate after the historic snowstorm that hit New York stranded him in Florida.
