Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, along with their older brother Tal, have each received 30-year prison sentences in a high-profile sex trafficking case involving years of sexual abuse and exploitation.
In March 2026, a jury found the Alexander brothers guilty on all counts of sex trafficking.
“Over 70 women”
According to prosecutors during the 5-week trial, the brothers’ crimes continued for more than a decade. Oren and Tal made a name for themselves with one of the largest real estate brokerages in the US. Prosecutors allege the brothers, along with Oren, used their wealth and social connections to lure women into their luxurious lifestyle, then exploited and sexually assaulted them.
Survivors took the stand during the trial to detail their experiences. Eleven testified to sexual assault, and around 8 described being drugged and forcibly raped by one or more of the defendants.
As reported by ABC News, US Attorney Espinoza filed a memorandum before sentencing, stating:
“The defendants carried out their playbook time and time again, drugging, raping, and assaulting dozens of victims. Over 70 women came forward with harrowing accounts of assault that stripped them of their dignity and autonomy.”
On October 27, the judge handed the brothers 30-year sentences—double what the defense had argued for. They were also ordered to serve 10 years of supervised release each.
Court’s final order
While the prosecutors requested the maximum sentence of life in prison, the defense argued that the brothers should serve the minimum sentence of 15 years. Defense attorney Howard Srebnick maintained their innocence stating in his closing argument, “Nobody was being assaulted, nobody had been trafficked.” Ultimately the judge decided on 30 years in his ruling.
In addition, the court ordered mandatory sex offender treatment whilst in prison, restitution, and charged substantial fines—$300,000 each for the twins and $350,000 for Tal. Beyond the trafficking charges, the court convicted Oren Alexander of distributing child sexual abuse material and ordered him to pay an additional $50,000 immediately.
The judge in the case reprimanded the brothers during their address to the court before handing down the sentences. Referring to their continued pleas of innocence:
“You did not have to stand up and say you’ve never raped anyone[.] That’s a lie and you know it.”
A significant moment for survivors
Sex trafficking does not only mean crossing borders. Coercing and luring people through deception for purpose of sexual exploitation is a form of sex trafficking.
The Alexander brothers’ sentencing is a significant moment for the survivors who came forward. It is a reminder that sex trafficking hides behind wealth, privilege, and respectability—and that holding perpetrators accountable is both possible and necessary.
