Jury selection to begin in Alexander brothers sex trafficking trial

Jury selection is set to begin in New York Tuesday in the trial of luxury real estate brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and their brother Alon on sex trafficking charges. 

The three are accused of using their wealth and influence to rape and sexually abuse dozens of women from 2002-2021. More than 60 people allegedly told prosecutors they had been raped by at least one of the brothers. 

The latest indictment against the three claims they gave the women free travel and luxury accommodations before drugging and raping them in vacation destinations like the Hamptons. 

Last week, it was revealed that Kate Whiteman, an Australian woman who was the first to allege she'd been abused by the Alexander brothers, was found dead near Sydney late last year. Officials there said her death was not considered suspicious, according to reports. 

All three Alexander brothers have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail. 

The trial is expected to last until early March.   

They were initially arrested in Miami and also face state felony charges in Florida.
