The Alexander brothers’ rape victims tearfully confronted the sick siblings in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday as the judge weighed whether to give the twisted trio life sentences for their demented acts.
“Why did you do this? I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the cruelty. I don’t understand the hatred towards women,” said Brooklyn artist Lindsay Acree in Manhattan federal court — as convicted heinous sex attackers Tal Alexander, 40, and his 39-year-old twin brothers Oren and Alon blankly stared ahead.
The privileged onetime mover-and-shaker brothers remained sitting stoically at the defense table dressed in their tan jail jumpsuits as victim after victim stepped up to a podium feet away from them and described nightmarish sexual assaults at their hands.
Acree testified during the brothers’ bombshell trial earlier this year about being drugged and raped by real-estate bigwig Tal in 2021.
“There is no way to calculate what this trauma has cost me,” said another victim, “Bela Koval,” a Ukrainian model who had already taken the stand under an alias to reveal how she had been “paralyzed” by a drugged drink as Oren raped her inside a $13 million Sag Harbor mansion where the brothers hosted parties.
A Nevada nurse using the alias “Maya Miller” sobbed as she told the court Tuesday that Tal violently raping her as she wept in the shower inside the same Hamptons party house was “a life sentence that I never asked for.
“I will forever carry the scars,” Miller said.
Tal and Oren — onetime powerhouse realtors who catered to celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and helped sell hedge-funder Ken Griffin’s record-smashing $240 million Midtown penthouse — and their security-firm brother Alon each face a minimum of 15 years in prison on sex-trafficking charges. Prosecutors are pushing for a life sentence.
US District Judge Valerie Caproni will announce the sentencing at the end of Tuesday’s hearing in Manhattan federal court, which is expected to last for several hours.
