Real estate moguls Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother, Alon Alexander, were found guilty in federal court of sex trafficking and related offenses, marking a dramatic fall for the once-prominent luxury brokers.

A jury returned guilty verdicts on all charges including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, inducement to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and multiple counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.

In his closing argument on March 3, prosecutor Andrew Jones said the brothers masqueraded ​as party boys but really were predators towards women.

“They used a consistent playbook to lure, isolate and rape their victims,” ‌Jones ⁠said. “They did it with callousness and a perverse sense of pride.”

ALEXANDER BROTHERS ACCUSED OF CRUISE SHIP SEX ABUSE AHEAD OF REAL ESTATE MOGULS’ TRAFFICKING TRIAL

Throughout the four weeks of testimony, Tal, Oren and Oren’s twin, Alon Alexander, who was an executive at his family’s private security firm, vehemently denied the sex crime charges against them, as well as other allegations.

Prosecutors allege the brothers orchestrated a yearslong pattern of sexual abuse involving numerous women across multiple states. The defense argued that the encounters were consensual and that the government had overreached.

U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said the verdict marks a significant step in combating sex crimes, calling the brothers’ conduct “calculated, brutal sexual abuse that, unimaginably, the defendants celebrated.”

Sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
