CNN —Federal prosecutors charged two prominent real estate brokers and their brother in a sex trafficking scheme, alleging they baited, drugged and sexually assaulted multiple women since 2010. During those trips and events, they allege, the men “frequently raped and sexually assaulted the women” sometimes within hours of meeting them. Isabelle Kirschner, an attorney who has represented Alon and Oren Alexander, who are twins, in civil sex trafficking lawsuits, confirmed their arrest and declined further comment. All three brothers have been charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking of one victim in 2016. Tal Alexander is separately charged with sex trafficking of a second victim in July 2011.
