New York sex-trafficking case against high-end real estate broker brothers goes to jury

In New York, a federal jury has begun deliberations in a sex-trafficking case against Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, two of whom are high-end real estate brokers. The brothers are accused of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women, allegations they deny. Defense lawyers argue the brothers are womanizers whose behavior, while insensitive, does not constitute sex trafficking, suggesting the trial is driven by disgruntled women. Separately, Tracy Tutor, a reality TV star, has filed a lawsuit accusing Oren Alexander of drugging and assaulting her years ago, which Alexander's lawyer denies and claims is timed for media attention. The outcome of the federal case could result in life imprisonment for the Alexander brothers if convicted.
