Alexander brothers, ex-luxury real estate brokers, sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking

Federal prosecutors sought life sentences for Oren and Alon Alexander, a pair of former powerful real estate brokers, and their brother, Tal, in a New York City courtroom Tuesday afternoon. Attorneys for the brothers, who have asserted their innocence, asked the judge to give the men the mandatory minimum instead.

U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni characterized the brothers as “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” On one side they were described as gentlemen who loved their children, she said, and on the other described as “sadistic, misogynistic, sexual predators.”

“Your conduct was monstrous,” Caproni said in her sentencing.

But Caproni added that she did not believe the Alexander brothers were beyond redemption, declining the request to give them life sentences.

In addition to 30 years of incarceration, the judge ordered 10 years of supervised release and sex offender treatment approved by the probation office. They are not to have contact with any child under the age of 18 unless approved by the probation office.
