They were corroborated by the sheer number of women who testified here. they led different lives But, they had one thing in common: they were each raped by these men."

"Multiple women described their assaults in similar ways, for example, using the same words to describe how they felt after accepting a drugged drink from the Alexanders: woozy, out of it, and unable to hold up [their] head. Jones also pointed to the trove of physical evidence in the case, including text messages where the brothers bragged about taking down young women after alleged rapes, called women they flew out to the Hamptons cheap hookers."

Federal prosecutors presented closing arguments in the sex trafficking trial of brothers Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander, detailing allegations against 11 victims. Prosecutors argued the defendants employed a consistent playbook: luring women with promises of luxury trips to the Hamptons or parties, then isolating and assaulting them through drugs or force. Multiple victims described similar experiences, using identical language to characterize their post-assault states. Evidence included text messages where the brothers allegedly bragged about assaults, derogatory references to victims, and discussions of coordinated sexual activities. Prosecutors also referenced a blog called Bent on Bitches containing alleged bragging about sexual assault, published in 2008 before the allegations emerged, suggesting premeditation and motive.
