12 counts of sex trafficking and assault<\/a> \u2014 the woman said she met Alon and Oren Alexander in January 2017 at a nightclub with two friends. They were celebrating their senior year in high school.\u00a0<\/p>\nAt the packed club, Alon Alexander pulled them out of the crowd to their table, the woman testified, and, upon learning the witness was 17 years old, told her: \u201cThat\u2019s hot.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then pulled up her turtleneck sweater to expose her abdomen without her consent, she said, asking her whether she had a six-pack. He made her two drinks at the table, which the woman said she believes were drugged \u2014she testified that her head \u201cfelt heavy,\u201d and that later in the night it was as though her body was \u201csevered\u201d from her brain, a feeling she\u2019d never experienced upon drinking alcohol before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a little over an hour at the club, Alon and Oren Alexander asked the girls to go back to their residence for an afterparty, telling them there\u2019d be \u201clots\u201d of other people, the woman told the jury. However, upon arriving at their destination, all the woman and her friends found was a dark, empty hotel room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where Alon Alexander shoved his fingers inside her pants, then into her vagina, the woman said, before instructing her to move to the bathroom, where he raped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI could feel his nails scraping inside of me. I could feel myself tearing,\u201d she said, sobbing. \u201cI was really scared, because I really wanted him to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Alon Alexander attacked her, the woman said she saw blood on the ground underneath her. That scared her, she said, and in her shaken state, she immediately started cleaning it up and apologizing to him for bleeding. He told her she should \u201cnever apologize\u201d for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was so scared,\u201d she said, crying. \u201cHe just did what he wanted.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw one of her friends passed out on a bed (drugged, the woman believes) and Oren Alexander on top of her other friend on the second bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That friend subsequently ran out of the room, saying, \u201cThis is really bad and I don\u2019t want to be here,\u201d the woman told the jury. Later, she told the witness she had to use her fingers to prevent Oren Alexander from inserting his penis into her and that she was terrified of the men.<\/p>\n
After the woman\u2019s testimony, government prosecutors read a message from Alon to Oren Alexander, sent after the woman said she was raped, which read: \u201cI took down a 17-year-old.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The witness, who has filed a civil suit against Alon and Oren Alexander, said her suit wasn\u2019t about the money when asked about it on the stand.\n<\/p>\n
\u201c[The money] would not impact my life because my father is a billionaire,\u201d the woman said. \u201cI don\u2019t need their money. I just don\u2019t want them to have it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was 17, they took something from me that I really didn\u2019t want to give,\u201d she continued, through tears. \u201cNow I want to take something from them that I know they don\u2019t want to give.\u201d<\/p>\n
The witness almost didn\u2019t take the stand Monday, as the Alexander\u2019s defense attorneys suggested the trial should be paused because one of the jurors was hospitalized with the flu and couldn\u2019t appear in court.\u00a0<\/p>\n
U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni<\/a> denied that request, instead bringing in an alternate juror to replace him for the rest of the trial<\/p>\nFollowing the witness\u2019s testimony, her younger brother testified Monday, telling the court his sister told him about the 2017 Colorado assault about a month after she said it happened. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High profile real estate agent brothers Tal Alexander, Alon Alexander and Oren Alexander attend their federal sex trafficking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[46643,419,2710,9,11,10,3018,3019],"class_list":["post-128209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-alexander-brothers","tag-courts","tag-law","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-rape","tag-sexual-assault"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
