Brothers, former New York City real estate gurus and convicted sex traffickers Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander will now wait until October to find out if they’ll be getting a life sentence for spending a decade using their wealth and influence to entice women into scenarios where they could drug and rape them.
The trio, who have collectively been accused of rape and sexual assault by over 60 women, have been awaiting sentencing in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since March 9, when a jury found them guilty on 10 counts of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and inducing women to travel for sex.
They were initially set to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni on Aug. 6. However, the federal judge issued an order this week pushing the sentencing back to Oct. 6, adding that, “absent extraordinary cause,” it wouldn’t be moved again.
Nearly a dozen women testified at the Alexanders’ roughly six-week trial, telling the jury in graphic detail how the Alexanders worked together to purchase them flights and offer them enticing experiences in the Hamptons, New York City and around the globe, then slipped drugs in their drinks or forcefully pinned them down to rape them, sometimes drawing blood.
Their defense attorneys argued that the women were lying or simply regretful of their choice to have sex with the brothers, and that, while some of the conduct may have been rape, it wasn’t technically sex trafficking, arguments the jury disagreed with in their verdict.
Though Caproni didn’t include a reason for pushing the sentencing in her order, it comes as some of the Alexanders’ attorneys juggle a few other high-profile cases.
Oren Alexander attorney Marc Agnifilio is representing alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione in both his state and federal cases, which are expected to go to trial on Sept. 8 and Oct. 5, just a day before the Alexanders are now set to be sentenced, respectively.
Agnifilo and Oren’s other attorney, Teny Geragos, is also working on Harvey Weinstein’s third New York rape trial, which a jury is expected to return a verdict in this week.
Caproni’s order also mandates that government prosecutors must inform the court how many of the brothers’ victims will be speaking at the sentencing hearing by Aug. 7 and that either party must inform her by Sept. 17 whether they’ll request a pre-sentencing hearing to present Caproni with additional information they’d like her to consider before she delivers her sentence.
The government is expected to push for lengthy prison sentences for the Alexanders when they return to court.
