Sobbing victims deliver wrenching court statements before rapist Alexander brothers face their sentence
The Alexander brothers’ rape victims tearfully confronted the sick siblings in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday before the fallen real-estate scions were sentenced for their years of 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.
Another stricken victim told the judge Tuesday, “I carry a quiet funeral in me for the person I might have become had this not happened to me.
“Every second that Tal raped me in that shower felt like an eternity of terror,” the anonymous woman said.
One woman who previously testified to being raped in a home in ritzy Hamptons added, “What looked like a beautiful place became for me a mansion of horror, a mansion of dark secrets.”
Another victim, “Bela Koval,” a Ukrainian model, said, “There is no way to calculate what this trauma has cost me.”
She 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 faced a minimum of 15 years in prison on sex-trafficking charges.
Prosecutors were pushing for a life sentence.
US District Judge Valerie Caproni ended up sentencing the brothers each to 30 years behind bars — calling them “like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “monstrous.”
