Alexander brothers each jailed for 30 years for drugging, raping and trafficking women as victims confront siblings in court

Two of the nation’s most successful real estate moguls and their brother were each sentenced to 30 years behind bars on Tuesday after being convicted of sex trafficking crimes.

Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and Tal Alexander, 40, were found guilty of 10 counts of engaging in a years-long conspiracy of rape, sex trafficking, sex abuse and sexual exploitation in Manhattan federal court in March. 

Judge Valerie E Caproni sentenced each of the men to 30 years in federal prison after describing them as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

She admonished them for continuing to deny their crimes despite being found guilty, and denied their request for the minimum sentence of 15 years. 

‘I don’t refer to people as monsters because even rapists can change, but your conduct was monstrous,’ the judge said.

Their bombshell trial in March included testimony from 11 of the brothers’ victims. It featured obscene photos, messages and a video of an alleged sexual assault so graphic it almost made a juror cry. 

Several of their victims sobbed as they addressed the court before Caproni handed down the sentence on Tuesday.

One victim, who uses the name Maya Miller, told the judge through tears: ‘I stand here not only for myself but for every voice that Tal and his brothers have tried to silence. Your Honor, this is a life sentence I never asked for. 

‘This remains with me long after this. I carry a quiet funeral inside me.’

Another victim, who used the name Katie Moore, said: ‘These men spent years treating women and girls as though our lives, bodies, voices, and humanity meant nothing. But we are not disposable, and they are not untouchable.’

The trio were arrested in 2024 and have been held without bail ever since.

The men were seen grinning in court as the hearing played out. Their parents and wives, who regularly attended the trial, were absent from the courtroom. 

The only relative who attended was their older brother, Niv, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Prosecutors said the brothers began sexually assaulting women as early as 2001 or 2002, when they were in high school. 

As the years passed, the government said, they developed a pattern of drugging and raping women whom they enticed to join them on luxury getaways.

‘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,’ prosecutors said.

Once sexual assaults began, the brothers ‘seemed to prefer – when the women protested, struggled to get free, or lay lifeless in front of them,’ prosecutors said.

Eleven women testified at their trial, with many of them describing being raped or sexually assaulted after they became disoriented and lost control of their bodies after being given a drink by one of the brothers.

At least 70 women were raped or sexually assaulted by the men, prosecutors said in a court filing that called the brothers ‘serial rapists.’ 

While the brothers maintain their innocence, the defense asked that they each receive the minimum sentence of 15 years.

Defense lawyers said the brothers apologize to the women they insulted or offended for conduct they admit was ‘insensitive toward the feelings of certain women at certain times.’ 

Judge Caproni previously said she believes the brothers should not be incarcerated at the same prison because they were a bad influence on one another. 

The brothers’ parents, Orly and Shlomi Alexander, had asked the judge to spare their three sons from spending the rest of their lives behind bars.

In a letter obtained by the Daily Mail, the parents asked the judge to consider the ‘whole lives’ of their convicted sex trafficker sons, insisting they are devoted fathers, loving husbands and charitable men who deserve a chance to return home and raise their children.

Alon’s wife, Israeli model Shani Zigron, 30, echoed their appeal, describing her husband as a gentle, caring father who changed diapers, prepared breakfast for their daughters, and treated her with ‘care, respect and gentleness’ throughout their marriage. 

Meanwhile, Oren’s wife, Brazilian model Kamila, recalled how his dramatic arrest while she was nine months pregnant left her ‘traumatized,’ forced her to raise their baby alone and derailed her once-successful modeling career. 

The character statements submitted before Tuesday’s sentencing hearing even cited volunteer work the brothers did as teenagers, including helping children with special needs, in a bid to secure lighter sentences.

Prosecutors asked for life imprisonment for all three men, while federal probation officials recommended 195 years for Oren and 180 years each for his twin Alon and their older brother Tal.
