Jet-setting Miami brothers, Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander were arrested in December 2024 on federal sex trafficking charges.
Jury selection in their New York trial begins Tuesday.
In the 16-page indictment, the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan alleges that for over a decade the Alexander brothers conspired to "repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of women," using the "promise of luxury experiences, travel and accommodations" as a tool "to lure and entice" and ultimately force sex.
Alon and Oren also face rape charges in Miami.
The brothers' parents, Orly and Shlomy Alexander, insist that their sons are innocent and say that will become clear from the he-said, she-said testimony in the criminal case.
Meanwhile, the first woman who accused Oren and Alon Alexander of rape is dead. Kate Whiteman, 45, was found dead in Australia late last year and the coroner in New South Wales says the cause of death is under investigation.
The Alexander brothers' federal trial in New York is projected to last until early March.
