Summary
30-year federal prison terms were imposed on Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander, along with 10 years of supervised release, sex-offender treatment and restrictions on contact with minors.
Judge Valerie Caproni rejected prosecutors’ push for life sentences but said the brothers’ conduct was “monstrous,” citing March convictions on 10 counts after 11 women testified they were lured, drugged and raped.
Fines totaled $950,000 — $300,000 each for twins Oren and Alon, $350,000 for Tal — and Caproni said prison officials should assess whether the brothers should be housed separately because they are bad influences on one another.
More than 70 women had come forward with abuse allegations, prosecutors said, while defense lawyers sought the 15-year minimum, maintained the sex was consensual and argued the men had changed after marrying.
