In New York, the trial of three brothers, Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, began with opening statements on Tuesday. Prosecutors allege that from 2008 to 2021, the brothers, including two real estate agents, lured women with luxury accommodations, flights, drugs, and alcohol to locations like the Hamptons, where they were then sexually abused and sometimes raped. The brothers are accused of using "whatever means necessary" to entice women, while defense attorneys argue the encounters were consensual and that the accusers are unreliable, motivated by regret or financial gain. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include conspiracy to entice women for sexual abuse. The trial is expected to last a month.
