Former luxury real estate brokers Oren Alexander and Alon Alexander and their brother, Tal Alexander, have been sentenced seven months after a federal jury found them guilty on every count in their high-profile sex trafficking case.
U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni sentenced Tal, 40, Oren, 39, and Alon, 39, to 30 years each in federal prison on Tuesday, October 27.
Prior to their sentencing, 12 of the siblings’ victims took the stand to share victim impact statements.
“These men spent years treating women and girls as though our lives, body, voices, humanity meant nothing,” one victim, who used the pseudonym Katie Moore, said in court, according to CNN. “But we are not disposable and they are not untouchable.”
Federal prosecutors were seeking life in prison for the Alexander brothers after more than 70 women came forward with allegations of abuse, claiming the trio exploited their status and wealth to target victims.
The brothers came from an affluent family and continued their lavish lifestyles into adulthood. Oren and Tal worked as luxury brokers at Douglas Elliman before launching their own firm, while Alon worked at the family’s private security company.
Alon, Oren and Tal were arrested on December 11, 2024, in Florida and were charged with federal sex trafficking, conspiracy and sexual assault. All three of the brothers pleaded not guilty to the charges and have maintained their innocence.
The brothers were ultimately convicted in March on 10 total counts related to sex trafficking, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
During the trial, prosecutors said the brothers lured women to luxury destinations. Once there, they allegedly drugged and raped the women on several occasions between 2008 and 2021.
Only 11 women testified at trial, though prosecutors said that more than 60 women have accused one or more of the Alexander brothers of rape.
Meanwhile, the defense attorneys argued that the brothers only engaged in consensual sexual encounters with women. The defense also argued that the prosecutors had little evidence to prove that the brothers had drugged anyone due to the lack of toxicology reports, medical reports and contemporaneous police reports.
Two days before the brothers were sentenced, their crimes and trial were broken down in Peacock’s The Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers. In addition to detailing the allegations made against the brothers, the three-part docuseries also shared insight into how their early years informed their crimes.
“I think one of the striking parts about this story is that these were allegations against three brothers. This wasn’t just one powerful man,” executive producer Emma Schwartz exclusively told Us. “We’ve seen a lot of those cases, and a lot of people had questions, including us. So if they’re brothers, what was their upbringing like? What could have shaped them?”
Schwartz added that many of the brothers’ former classmates were not shocked by the federal case.
“Many of the first things that they said to us was, ‘Well, I wasn’t surprised,’” she said. “There were stories, there were allegations going back to high school, and in fact, we look at an account from one of the women in this documentary. We look at a police report that was filed making allegations from that time. And so I think there were stories about how they viewed women and how they treated women, and allegations against them going back nearly two decades.”
