Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and their older brother Tal Alexander, 40, will also serve 10 years of supervised release after their prison terms, CBS News reported. ABC News reported that the judge ordered them to take part in sex offender treatment programs while in custody. Caproni rejected the government's request for life sentences. The Miami Herald, in a report republished by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, said the judge described life terms as "Draconian" while calling the brothers' conduct "shameful and degenerate." She said she would not call the men "monsters," but that their "conduct was monstrous," the Herald reported. CBS News quoted the judge as saying the witnesses "credibly described sadistic, misogynistic sexual predators" and that the evidence was "overwhelming that they administered drugs surreptitiously." ## The sentence at a glance | Defendant | Age | Prison term | Supervised release | Fine | | -------------- | --- | ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Oren Alexander | 39 | 30 years | 10 years | $300,000 (plus $50,000 tied to a count involving a minor) | | Alon Alexander | 39 | 30 years | 10 years | $300,000 | | Tal Alexander | 40 | 30 years | 10 years | $350,000 | Figures as reported by ABC News, CBS News and the Miami Herald on Oct. 27\. ABC News said restitution will be worked out by lawyers for both sides. ## What both sides said in court Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Espinosa asked for life in prison for all three men, and prosecutors said they did not consider any one brother more culpable than the others, ABC News reported. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said in a statement quoted by CBS News: "Today's sentence makes clear that this craven, sinister conduct is extraordinarily serious." The defense asked for the 15-year minimum while maintaining the brothers' innocence. "They are innocent of these charges," their sentencing memo said, according to ABC News. The Miami Herald reported that Oren told the court, "My brothers and I have never drugged or raped anyone," and that Tal asked the judge to "please have mercy." Caproni responded to the denials directly: "That's a lie and you know it," ABC News reported. About a dozen women gave victim impact statements during the hearing, according to ABC News and the Miami Herald. Bullquill is not naming any of the women. ## What we know and what we don't know yet **Known:** A 12-person jury convicted the three brothers on March 9 on all 10 counts, including a sex-trafficking conspiracy, the Miami Herald reported. Eleven women testified at the five-week trial, and prosecutors have said more than 70 women came forward, according to ABC News. The brothers have been held without bail since their December 2024 arrests and are detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the Herald reported. **Not yet known:** The restitution amount owed to victims has not been set. It is also unclear where the brothers will serve their sentences; CBS News reported that Caproni said she did "not have the adequate expertise to conclude they should not be incarcerated together," leaving placement to prison officials. No appeal filing had been reported as of 07:00 UTC on Oct. 28. ## Appeal and Florida charges A family spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said "This case is far from over," according to the Miami Herald, and ABC News quoted him as saying that "the legal process does not end here." The Herald reported that the brothers plan to appeal. Oren and Alon also face state rape charges in Miami, a trial that had been delayed until the federal sentencing was finished, the Herald reported. Tal has not been charged in the state cases. Those state allegations have not yet been tested at trial. ## Background Before their arrests, the brothers were prominent names in luxury real estate in New York and Miami, according to CBS News and ABC News. Prosecutor Andrew Jones told jurors the men followed a "playbook" of luring women with exclusive parties, yachts and luxury travel, ABC News reported. At trial, defense lawyer Howard Srebnick conceded the brothers could be "obnoxious" but argued that "nobody was being assaulted, nobody had been trafficked." The Miami Herald reported that more than 30 civil, state and federal cases have been filed against the brothers. Sex trafficking cases remain a focus for prosecutors and state attorneys general, including [New Mexico's lawsuit against Epstein's lawyer and accountant](https://bullquill.com/new-mexico-sues-epstein-lawyer-accountant/).

Caproni's comments suggest she weighed the scale of the conduct against her view that life terms were excessive. For the brothers, the next steps run on two tracks: an appeal of the federal conviction and the pending state trial in Florida for the twins. For the women who testified, the immediate open question is restitution, which the court has yet to determine. Former U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said at the time of the trial that such crimes "all too often go unreported and unpunished," according to CBS News, and McDonald's statement presented the sentence as a measure of how seriously his office treats such conduct. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long were the Alexander brothers sentenced to?
