Famous real estate agent brothers in US convicted of raping dozens of women

Two famous brothers who worked as real estate brokers have been convicted of drugging and raping dozens of women over the course of decades, the BBC writes.

Tal Alexander, 39, and Oren Alexander, 38, rose to prominence from their sales of luxury real-estate properties in New York and Miami. Along with a third brother Alon, 38, a jury found all three guilty of sex trafficking by a jury in New York.

Prosecutors had accused the brothers of using their wealth to lure women to parties and luxury homes, then taking advantage of them. But their attorneys argued the women were willing participants. They argued that the brothers were womanizers – but not rapists.

The brothers were found guilty on all 10 criminal counts, including sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor.

The publication states that the brothers could face up to life in prison.
