Read vile alleged rape blog shown at Alexander brothers’ trial: Unpublishable contents so shocking their parents couldn’t bear to look

Before the fourth week of the Alexander brothers’ sex trafficking trial drew to a close, jurors in Manhattan federal court were shown passages from a disturbing blog that the government suggested was a manifesto of sorts for two of the siblings.

The website, titled ‘Vent on B*****s,’ was founded in 2008 by a group of friends of twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 38. The site was allegedly not created or maintained by the brothers and had no connection to their older brother Tal, 39, but prosecutors pointed to references of it made by the twins in emails and messages.

The blog’s bio declared it was written by ‘a collection of 10 of the gnarliest guys you’ve ever seen from both coasts’ and promised advice to men on ‘dealing with women’ and advising women on when to ‘shut the f**k up.’

‘If you don’t like what we say, suck the warts off Oren’s d**k,’ the bio read.

Among more than 100 entries published between 2008 and 2011 was a post titled ‘It’s Not Rape If…,’ outlining twisted caveats to consent, including if ‘She’s sleeping.’

Another post, from April 2008, was titled ‘C*m dumping’ and advised readers not to ‘waste your seed.’ In the disturbing entry – the contents of which are too graphic to publish – the author advised telling women that you ‘own the hotel she is staying in.’

In an email sent to Oren the day after that post’s publication, Alon appeared to echo its contents while describing a sexual encounter. ‘I convinced her my dad owns the hotel,’ Alon wrote in the email.

Another blog post from May 2008 discussed a rule book for ‘clowning’ with women. 

An email authored by Oren with the subject ‘Art of Clowning’ was then shared with the court.

‘F**k bitches get money,’ he wrote in the email. ‘Lions never eat alone. It’s a f*****g zoo.’

In a separate 2012 exchange, Oren bragged to a friend that he and another person had ‘trained’ a ‘cute Canadian’ they found walking in Soho, New York, in the rain.

When the friend replied, ‘No is not an option,’ Oren responded: ‘Nope.’

Defense attorneys had fought to keep the blog out of evidence, arguing it is irrelevant and highly prejudicial. They did not have time to address it on cross-examination before the court adjourned for the week.

The brothers’ mother, Orly Alexander, sat with her head bowed during the testimony. Their father, Shlomi Alexander, exited the courtroom before the blog excerpts were displayed.

All three brothers – former luxury real estate brokers, made famous in Miami and New York – are charged with multiple counts of sex trafficking and conspiracy. Prosecutors allege they drugged, raped and trafficked dozens of women over more than a decade. The brothers have pleaded not guilty and insist all sexual encounters were consensual. If convicted, they face the possibility of life in prison.

Also on Thursday, a court marshal instructed members of the family to stop passing notes during testimony, after Judge Valerie E Caproni said the activity was distracting to jurors.

‘Are we allowed to even breathe?’ Orly sarcastically fired back.

Alon’s wife, Shani Zagreb, who had been a fixture in the courtroom since the trial began in late January, was absent from court this week.

Thursday’s proceedings ended with testimony from Nicholas Ciccolo, a forensic investigator with the Southern District of New York, who walked jurors through a series of emails and messages, including exchanges from 2017 related to plans to attend the ill-fated Fyre Festival in the Bahamas.

In one message, Oren was shown to be exploring options for chartering a luxury yacht to sail to the festival. One of the quotes he received was $140,000 for the week.

A group chat was set up between Oren, Tal, Alon and two others titled ‘Fyre Puss,’ testimony showed.

In one email introduced as evidence, a woman who attended the trip wrote that she was ‘seriously not cool’ with what had happened, adding you ‘knew I didn’t want it.’

‘You have to ask someone before you have sex… I woke up with a d**k inside me,’ wrote Davis.

Oren responded: ‘It was my fingers first.’

Earlier in the week, two women testified about alleged assaults that are not separately charged in the indictment but were introduced to support the broader conspiracy allegations.

The first, testifying under the pseudonym Ava Wells, told jurors she met Alon at a young Jewish professionals’ event in New York in 2012 and had sporadic contact with him for years.

In 2016, while visiting Tel Aviv with a friend, Wells, then 29, reached out after seeing he was also in the city. He invited her and her friend to his Airbnb for drinks.

In a group text shown in court, Alon wrote: ‘Warm ups here. Not for Dinner.’

Wells testified that shortly after arriving, she and Alon were alone in a bedroom when he began kissing and touching her. He turned away, and when he came back towards her, his penis was exposed and he was wearing a condom.

Wells said she told Alon she didn’t want to have sex but he allegedly forced himself on her and started kissing her.

Wells told the jury she said she did not want to have sex and tried to push him away, but he allegedly grabbed her wrists, pinned them over her head and raped her.

‘I was completely violated,’ she said, adding that Alon’s eyes were ‘staring through’ her.

Wells mouthed to her friend that she had just been raped, but the two went to dinner with the brothers before leaving early.

Her friend, Sofie Langan, later corroborated key aspects of the timeline but raised a number of inconsistencies, including whose decision it was to leave the dinner.

Langan said she initially did not believe Wells was raped because of how quickly the chain of events unfolded. She testified that after the brothers were arrested in December 2024, she sent Wells a news article and apologized for not being more supportive at the time.

On cross-examination, Alon’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, pressed Wells on discrepancies between her testimony and prior statements, asking if her memory had ‘changed over time,’ leaving her visibly flustered.

He also questioned messages she had initially omitted when providing materials to prosecutors.

In one exchange with a friend, Wells had referred to Alon as a ‘rapist’ but digitally crossed out ‘hahaha’ from the message before turning it over to the government.

When asked why, she said there was ‘nothing funny’ about what she was discussing.

‘Neither is accusing someone of rape,’ Srebnick replied.

‘Completely agree,’ Wells responded.

A second witness, Kelly Hudson, testified that she met Oren in Acapulco in 2008 while working as a spring break student guide.

She claimed she saw him put a pill in someone’s drink and in two women’s mouths, though she acknowledged on cross-examination that she did not warn anyone and did not believe at the time that he was drugging women against their will.

Hudson and Oren kept in contact and met up in Aspen, Colorado, in March and December 2009 to go snowboarding and skiing together.

During the December meeting, Hudson said she was at a mountain bar with a friend and Oren and Alon joined. After two or three glasses of wine, she said she began to feel incredibly intoxicated and blacking in and out of consciousness.

What followed in the ensuing hours, she can only recall with a handful of clear memories, Hudson said.

She testified that she remembered Oren pushing her against a wall and ‘aggressively’ kissing her. She kissed him back, acknowledging she had a crush on him.

Her next clear memory, she testified, was Oren on top of her in a bed. Hudson burst into tears as she recounted the memory.

Hudson told the jury she remembered putting her hands between their bodies and saying ‘no,’ but Oren ‘kept slapping’ her hands away.

Hudson said she later recalled being washed in a shower and at one point pushed against the wall, hitting her head. She testified that Oren dressed her in a clown costume – a hat and vest – and threw her outside in the cold.

‘I remember thinking this guy is trying to humiliate me,’ Hudson testified.

When she confronted Oren the next day about what happened, she testified he told her: ‘Don’t worry about it. We had fun.’

A few weeks later, Hudson said she started feeling discomfort in her groin and a doctor diagnosed her with chlamydia. She had only had sex with one other person, more than a year before Oren, so she knew Oren was the culprit, Hudson said.

Hudson said she never reported the encounter to police. After seeing media coverage in 2024 detailing allegations against the brothers, she contacted the FBI for the first time.

Following the defense’s playbook to this point, Oren’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, focused his cross on challenging Hudson’s credibility as a witness by showing inconsistencies in her testimony in prior meetings and her failure to report her claims until after the brothers were publicly accused by others.

She told jurors she decided to testify to ‘be helpful’ and to help the ‘scared 25-year-old’ version of herself.

Judge Caproni was visibly annoyed at the length of Agnifilo’s cross, which lasted three-fold the time she spent testifying for the defense.

Caproni has repeatedly admonished the defense for the length of their questioning, suggesting their strategy is not only irksome to her but also potentially harmful for their case.

‘You’re spending a lot of time on things that just aren’t moving,’ Caproni said earlier this month. ‘I don’t think they’re moving the jury.’

The trial was not in session on Friday, but the prosecution and the defense met with Caproni for a conference without the jury present.

During the meeting, prosecutors announced plans to drop two of the 12 sex-trafficking charges filed against the brothers. Those counts concern claims that the brothers transported two women across state lines and forced them into sexual contact in June 2009.

The two women had been expected to testify but had not yet appeared.

The government is expected to rest its case on Monday. The trial is expected to run until mid-March.
