Prosecutors Seek Life Sentences for NYC Real Estate Brokers Convicted of Sex Trafficking; Sentencing Oct. 27
Federal prosecutors urged a New York judge to impose life sentences on luxury real estate brokers Oren Alexander, 39, Tal Alexander, 40, and their brother Alon Alexander, 39, convicted in March of sex trafficking and related charges involving at least 70 alleged victims over two decades. The brothers, once known as real estate's "A Team" for high-ticket sales and celebrity clientele, face sentencing on Oct. 27 before Judge Valerie E. Caproni. Prosecutors cited a pattern of drugging and assaulting women during luxury getaways beginning around 2001–2002, while defense attorneys recommended 15-year terms and maintained the brothers' innocence. The Probation Office recommended consecutive 15-year sentences per victim, totaling up to 195 years for Oren Alexander.
