U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni will hear statements from nearly a dozen women during the sentencing of the Alexander brothers this Tuesday. The hearing marks the final stage of the federal case against Oren and Alon Alexander, both 39, and Tal Alexander, 40, who were convicted of sex trafficking in March.

Prosecutors have requested that the judge impose life prison sentences on all three men. They argue the brothers used their wealth, connections to celebrities, and access to luxury real estate to lure and assault victims. A court filing described the trio as serial rapists who began sexually assaulting women as early as 2001 or 2002, when they were in high school.

The defense team has asked for the statutory minimum of 15 years in prison. Their lawyers stated that the brothers apologize for conduct they admit was insensitive toward the feelings of certain women at certain times. The attorneys also maintained their clients' innocence despite the March conviction.

According to prosecutors, at least 70 women were raped or sexually assaulted by the men. The brothers, once known as real estate's A Team for their high-end sales at Douglas Elliman, later founded their own firm. Alon Alexander managed the family's private security company while his brothers projected a lifestyle of yachts, private jets, and waterfront mansions in Miami.

The three men have been held without bail since their arrest in 2024. Judge Caproni has indicated she believes the brothers should not be incarcerated in the same facility because they were a bad influence on one another. Defense lawyers plan to argue that the trio should remain together even behind bars.
