Alexander三兄弟性贩运案各获刑30年：纽约联邦法官斥其行为「令人发指」，11名受害人量刑听证当庭陈述
美国纽约州纽约市曼哈顿联邦法院10月27日对 Alexander 三兄弟性贩运案作出量刑：前豪宅地产经纪人 Oren Alexander 与 Tal Alexander，以及并非经纪人的弟弟 Alon Alexander，各被判处30年联邦监禁，刑满后另须接受10年监管释放。三人今年3月经为期六周的审判被陪审团裁定性贩运等罪名成立。据彭博法律新闻（Bloomberg Law）与美联社报道，主审法官 Valerie Caproni 在宣判时对三兄弟说：「你们的行为令人发指。」
检方指控，三兄弟利用财富、光鲜生活方式与豪宅地产圈的人脉，诱骗并下药性侵数十名女性。量刑听证上，11名指控者出庭陈述受害经历，有人哽咽讲述侵害如何改变了自己的人生。三兄弟在审判中没有作证，但在宣判前各自发言，Oren Alexander 率先向法庭表示，他无意贬低受害人所说的话。
量刑幅度上，检方请求对三人各判终身监禁，辩方请求判处法定最低刑期15年，法官最终判处各30年，低于检方请求、高于辩方请求。双胞胎 Oren 与 Alon 现年39岁，Tal 现年40岁；Oren 与 Tal 曾是美国最知名的豪宅地产经纪人之一。
本案自起诉以来广受关注，三兄弟被控的作案手法——以豪宅、派对与名人社交圈为诱饵接近受害人——引发全美对高端地产与社交圈权力不对等问题的讨论。三人目前被关押候刑，后续上诉程序尚未展开公开信息。
Alexander Brothers Each Sentenced to 30 Years in Sex Trafficking Case: Judge Calls Their Conduct "Monstrous" as 11 Accusers Speak
A federal judge in Manhattan, New York City, New York, sentenced the three Alexander brothers on October 27 to 30 years in prison each in their sex trafficking case, with 10 years of supervised release to follow: former luxury real estate brokers Oren Alexander and Tal Alexander, and their brother Alon Alexander, who was not a broker. A jury convicted the three in March after a six-week trial on sex trafficking and other charges. According to Bloomberg Law and the Associated Press, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni told the brothers at sentencing: "Your conduct was monstrous."
Prosecutors said the brothers used their wealth, glamorous lifestyles and access to luxury real estate circles to lure, drug and rape dozens of women. At the sentencing hearing, 11 accusers spoke in court about what they endured; some choked up as they described how the assaults changed their lives. None of the brothers testified at trial, but each addressed the court before sentencing, with Oren Alexander speaking first and saying he was not there to discount what the women had said.
Prosecutors had asked for life sentences and the defense for the 15-year statutory minimum; the judge imposed 30 years for each brother. Twins Oren and Alon are 39 and Tal is 40. Oren and Tal were once among the nation's top luxury real estate brokers.
The case has drawn national attention for the methods prosecutors described — using mansions, parties and celebrity social circles to approach victims — and for the debate it prompted about power imbalances in high-end real estate and social networks. No public information on an appeal was available as of publication.
