The lawyers of the Alexander brothers maintained that their clients were womanisers, not rapists. This was the statement the legal counsel stressed after their clients were convicted of sex trafficking on Tuesday, 10 March.

'They're not drugging them, they're not raping them, but they're certainly pursuing them,' Marc Agnifilo, a lawyer for Oren Alexander, said in a report byBBC News.

The verdict was delivered after five weeks of a trial that included 11 women testifying against the Alexander brothers. According to some of the female victims, some of them were minors when they were sexually taken advantage of by the brothers.

It was also an unhappy outcome for two of the three brothers, Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander. Both are well-known in the sale of luxury real estate properties in New York and Miami.

Upon hearing the decision, Tal, Oren, and their other brother, Alon, could do nothing but shake their heads after the jury foreperson said 'guilty' 19 straight times. Their parents and Alon's wife were stunned by the decision, meaning that the Alexander brothers could spend the rest of their lives behind bars, theAssociated Pressreported. Sentencing is set for 6 August 2026.

Despite the verdict, the Alexanders vow to continue fighting. Their lawyers believe that the brothers are innocent and Agnifilo is confident that this will be proven one day.

'We believe in our clients' innocence and we're not going to stop fighting until we prevail, and we believe that we will one day prevail,' Oren Alexander's lawyer stated.

However, proving their innocence won't come easy, especially after videos were presented to the jury. One of them involved Oren Alexander allegedly drugging and raping a 17-year-old. The incident took place at his Manhattan apartment in 2009.

Aside from that, there was the revelation of Tracy Tutor a couple of days ago. As reported here onIBT UK, the reality TV star singled out Oren for spiking her drink at a function and then taking advantage of her in the men's room.

When she got back to her senses, Tutor claims she woke up in a different hotel room with her tampon removed, leading her to believe that she had been sexually assaulted. Despite her allegations, a lawyer for Alexander branded it as a false accusation and said it was meant to hype media attention.
