NEW YORK — The Alexander brothers were found guilty on all counts Friday in one of the largest sex trafficking cases ever tried by the Department of Justice.

The jury found Tal, 39, and twins Alon and Oren Alexander, 38, guilty of 10-count indictment alleging they carried out a more than decade-long sex trafficking conspiracy, using their wealth and influence to lure women — and teenage girls — to luxurious locations to be date raped and violently sexually assaulted.

Prior to their arrests, Alon and Oren were two of the highest-paid real estate brokers in the U.S.

The brothers could face decades in prison when sentenced by Manhattan Federal Judge Valerie Caproni.

In reaching their stunning verdicts, jurors who heard rape and abuse allegations involving at least 11 women over the more than monthlong trial rejected the defense’s positions that the accusers were lying and motivated by money, heartbreak, or jealousy.

The feds, who spoke with at least 60 women who alleged the brothers sexually brutalized them during their investigation, described them as predators who masqueraded as party boys, coming from immensely privileged backgrounds and long acting with total impunity. Jurors heard the attacks were routine for the brothers and often occurred while women were unconscious.

Tal and Oren, former agents for the Douglas Elliman real estate firm, of Miami, Fla., made their names selling some of the country’s priciest properties, including what was, at the time, the most expensive apartment on billionaire’s row. Alon worked for their Israeli-American family’s private security firm.
