Three brothers from Florida, who used their family’s luxury real estate business as a cover to drug and sexually assault dozens of women, were each sentenced to 30 years in prison in New York on Tuesday for sex trafficking. Oren and Alon Alexander, 39-year-old twins, and their 40-year-old brother Tal Alexander were convicted earlier this year following a five-week trial that revealed years of abuse across multiple affluent locations, including Miami, New York, the Hamptons, Aspen, Colorado, and a Caribbean cruise.

During the sentencing hearing in Manhattan, about a dozen victims delivered statements describing the profound impact the assaults had on their lives. Several testified under pseudonyms, recounting the trauma and loss of trust they experienced. One woman detailed how being raped by Tal Alexander in 2014 irreversibly changed her approach to relationships, describing the assault as “an eternity of terror.” Another victim recounted being drugged and attacked at a Hamptons property, calling the location a “mansion of horror” rather than the beautiful home it appeared to be.

The brothers remained impassive as the victims spoke. Their defense conceded that the men were “womanizers” and apologized for being “insensitive toward the feelings of certain women,” but insisted all sexual encounters were consensual. Prosecutors, however, argued that the Alexanders exploited their wealth and status to lure women into dangerous situations, drugging and raping them either alone or in the company of others.

Prosecutors described the Alexander brothers’ conduct as a calculated effort to dominate and dehumanize victims, often by slipping drugs into their drinks to render them immobile and impair memory of the assaults. The case prompted dozens of additional women to come forward after allegations were first publicized by a real estate news outlet in mid-2024. Court filings have identified at least 70 women who were raped or assaulted by the brothers, whom prosecutors labeled “serial rapists.”

All three men initially rose to prominence within the real estate industry after relocating from Florida to New York in 2008. Oren and Tal became leading agents at Douglas Elliman before founding their own brokerage, Official, which achieved significant sales among high-end and celebrity clients. Alon ran the family’s private security firm and was active in affluent social circles involving superyachts, private jets, and exclusive parties.

U.S. District Court Judge Valerie Caproni ordered that the brothers serve their sentences at separate facilities, citing the risk that they could negatively influence each other in prison. Defense attorneys had argued that they should be allowed to remain together.

Support services remain available for those affected by sexual abuse or assault, with organizations providing helplines in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and internationally.
