Three Florida brothers were sentenced to 30 years each in New York for drugging and raping dozens of women, the Guardian reported.
The twins, Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and their brother Tal Alexander, 40, were convicted in March on multiple charges after a five‑week trial.
During the trial, prosecutors described assaults that took place in Miami, New York, the Hamptons, Aspen, Colorado and on a Caribbean cruise. They said the brothers used the wealth and influence of their family’s luxury real estate business to facilitate the crimes.
The sentences were handed down on Tuesday in a New York courtroom.
Why it matters
The case shows how financial power can be abused to enable large‑scale sexual exploitation.
