Brothers Tied to Epstein Convicted of {Sex} Trafficking
A jury in Manhattan has convicted three obscenely wealthy brothers of drugging, raping, and trafficking for sex dozens of young women, including at least one 17-year-old.
Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander waged an 11-year campaign of sexual terror beginning in about 2010. But more tellingly, the first two are accused of rape in an FBI report in the Epstein files. Location: deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s rape and sex torture mansion in New York City.
The conviction and the document suggest that FBI chief Kash Patel either lied or didn’t know what he was talking about when he said the files contained “no credible information” that Epstein sex trafficked minors.
The Indictment
Tal and Oren Alexander, 39 and 38, were wealthy real-estate tycoons, while Oren’s twin, Alon, ran the family security business. A three-count, eight-page superseding sex trafficking indictment in December accused the three Israeli-American brothers of running a sex trafficking operation from bases in New York City, Miami, Florida, and “other locations.”
The three sex fiends “worked together and with others known and unknown, to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of victims,” the indictment alleged:
At times, [they] arranged for these sexual assaults well in advance, using the promise of luxury experiences, travel, and accommodations to lure and entice women to locations where they were then forcibly raped or sexually assaulted, sometimes by multiple men, including one or more of the ALEXANDER BROTHERS. Other times, [they] encountered and chose their victims by chance. Often, [they] drugged their victims before assaulting them, preventing them from fighting back or escaping.
The crimes sound eerily like those of their pal, Epstein. The conspiracy began in 2010.
The brothers “worked together and with other men to arrange events and domestic and international trips they used as bait to recruit, entice, harbor, transport, and maintain multiple women,” whom they “frequently raped and sexually assaulted.”
The brothers not only raped the women alone but also together, sometimes within hours of meeting them. After the crimes, the brothers offered the victims “travel, concert tickets, and other luxury experiences” in the bizarre belief that gifts made the crimes acceptable.
The brothers and others organized trips here and abroad for which they recruited women through social media or dating apps, and “induced the women to attend by, among other things, offering to purchase their flights, making other travel arrangements, and/or providing accommodations without charge.”
To make the women pliable, the brothers and “others” provided GHB (liquid ecstasy), cocaine, and mushrooms. On “multiple occasions” the fiends “surreptitiously drugged female victims’ drinks. Some of the victims experienced symptoms of impaired physical and mental capacity, including limitations of movement and speech and incomplete memories of events.”
Continued the indictment:
The ALEXANDER BROTHERS, sometimes acting alone, sometimes with each other, and sometimes with other men, forcibly raped or sexually assaulted their victims. At times, the defendants physically restrained and held down their victims during the rapes and sexual assaults and ignored screams and explicit requests to stop. …
On numerous occasions, the ALEXANDER BROTHERS drugged and raped or sexually assaulted women they encountered by chance, including women they met at bars and nightclubs, social events, and on dating applications. The ALEXANDER BROTHERS similarly carried out these rapes and sexual assaults by, among other things, drugging and incapacitating victims, taking victims to isolated locations, physically restraining victims while raping and sexually assaulting them alone, together, and with other men, and ignoring victims’ explicit demands to stop.
The indictment charged the goons with one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.
The Conviction
The brothers’ March 9 conviction came “after a weekslong trial where evidence and testimony from 11 brave victims demonstrated that the Alexander brothers conspired to repeatedly lure, drug, and rape young women,” said the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York. “These are chilling, reprehensible, and unacceptable acts.”
Though 11 victims spoke out, the indictment alleged that the brothers raped and trafficked “dozens.”
“When the trial opened in January, the brothers were together facing 12 charges,” The New York Times reported:
But late in the trial, prosecutors dropped two counts, telling [the judge] they had been forced to do so after one victim became so frightened by the defense team’s tactics that she refused to testify. Prosecutors said in a memo to the judge that a private investigator hired by the defense had pretended to be an insurance agent, visited the woman’s neighborhood and asked questions about her children.
The conduct “crossed ethical lines,” prosecutors said. It also followed a pattern of shame and intimidation tactics employed by the brothers since the first accusations against them were made public in the summer of 2024.
In the end, they faced 10 counts, and were found guilty on every one of them.
Prosecutors’ evidence included video of “Oren Alexander raping an incapacitated 17-year-old girl in 2009.”
FBI Report
It isn’t clear whether one or more of those victims is an FBI crisis intake contained in the Epstein files. During a party at his mansion in 2016, the report says, Epstein molested an unnamed girl in exchange for $500. It also accuses Oren and “Allen” (Alon) of rape “at one of the parties.” They “lured [name redacted] and her friend [name redacted] upstairs and locked the door,” the report says:
[Name redacted] “knocked the door back open” and the two ran back downstairs.
[Name redacted] stated Oren raped [name redacted] and Oren’s brother, Tal, raped a 14 year old girl named [named redacted]. [Name redacted] tried to slit her wrist after the incident.
The FBI had “no credible information, none,” that Epstein trafficked minors to others, Patel told GOP Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September. “If there were, I would bring the case yesterday, that he trafficked to other individuals.”
Over video of that testimony, the Epstein File Search X feed avers that “our archive has 2.5 million documents, 38 witness statements, and a federal conviction that say otherwise.”
