联邦检察官表示，纽约法官应判处全国最成功的两名豪华房地产经纪人及其兄弟终身监禁，因其在二十年间下药并强奸数十名女性。
Federal prosecutors say a New York judge should send two of the nation’s most successful luxury real estate brokers and their brother to prison for life for drugging and raping dozens of women over a two-decade stretch.
迈克尔·R·西萨克 拉里·纽迈斯特 纽约 — 联邦检察官周三敦促纽约法官判处全国最成功的两名豪华房地产经纪人及其兄弟终身监禁，因其在二十年间下药并强奸数十名女性，而辩护律师则建议判处15年监禁。
MICHAEL R. SISAK, LARRY NEUMEISTER NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors on Wednesday urged a New York judge to send two of the nation’s most successful luxury real estate brokers and their brother to prison for life for drugging and raping dozens of women over a two-decade stretch, while defense lawyers recommended 15-year terms.
双方提交的冗长书面材料是在本月晚些时候对双胞胎奥伦和阿隆·亚历山大（均39岁）以及塔尔·亚历山大（40岁）的量刑之前提出的。
The lengthy written submissions by both sides precede the sentencing later this month of twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and Tal Alexander, 40.
兄弟三人于3月被裁定犯有多项罪名，包括性贩运，该罪名规定最低刑期为15年监禁。
The brothers were convicted in March of multiple charges including sex trafficking, which carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison.
“正如证据所清楚表明的，被告人是连环强奸犯，多年来他们一个接一个地侵犯女性和女孩，”检察官写道。他们表示，已确认至少有70名女性曾被至少一名被告人下药并强奸或性侵。
“As the evidence makes clear, the defendants are serial rapists who violated woman after woman and girl after girl for years upon years,” prosecutors wrote. They said they had identified at least 70 victims who were raped or sexually assaulted by at least one of the defendants.
辩护律师称，兄弟三人对其言行冒犯或得罪的女性表示歉意，他们承认自己的行为在某些时候“对某些女性的感受不够敏感”，但他们补充说，三人“坚定地维持自己对这些可怕指控的完全无辜”。曾因高价交易和名人客户而被称为房地产界“A队”的奥伦和塔尔·亚历山大，将于10月27日与经营家族私人安保公司的阿隆·亚历山大一起接受量刑。
Defense lawyers said the brothers apologize to the women they insulted or offended for conduct they admit was “insensitive toward the feelings of certain women at certain times,” but they added that all three “steadfastly maintain their complete innocence of these awful charges.”Oren and Tal Alexander, once known as real estate’s “A Team” for their high-ticket sales and celebrity clientele, face sentencing Oct. 27 along with Alon Alexander, who ran their family’s private security company.
检察官称，兄弟三人早在2001年或2002年就开始对女性实施性侵犯，当时他们还在上高中。随着岁月流逝，政府称，他们形成了一种模式：下药并强奸他们诱骗参加豪华度假的女性。
Prosecutors said the brothers began sexually assaulting women as early as 2001 or 2002, when they were in high school. As the years passed, the government said, they developed a pattern of drugging and raping women who they enticed to join them on luxury getaways.
“被告人觉得自己有权从任何同意乘坐飞机、参加聚会或在夜总会坐在他们桌旁的女性或女孩那里拿走他们想要的东西，”检察官说。
“The defendants felt empowered to take whatever they wanted from any woman or girl who agreed to get on a plane, go to a party, or sit at their table at a nightclub,” prosecutors said.
一旦性侵犯开始，兄弟们“似乎更倾向于——当女性抗议、努力挣脱或在他们面前躺得一动不动时，”检察官说。
Once sexual assaults began, the brothers “seemed to prefer — when the women protested, struggled to get free, or lay lifeless in front of them,” prosecutors said.
十一名女性在审判中作证，其中许多人描述称，在兄弟之一给她们递上一杯饮料后，她们变得迷糊、失去身体控制，随后被强奸或性侵。
Eleven women testified at their trial, with many of them describing being raped or sexually assaulted after they became disoriented and lost control of their bodies after being given a drink by one of the brothers.
检察官指出，缓刑办公室建议对每名被告人，每强奸一名受害者判处15年监禁，这将导致阿隆和塔尔·亚历山大各被判处180年监禁，而奥伦·亚历山大则面临195年监禁。
Prosecutors noted that the Probation Office has recommended that each defendant serve 15 years for each victim they raped, which would result in 180-year sentences for Alon and Tal Alexander and 195 years in prison for Oren Alexander.
辩护律师将兄弟描述为“忠诚的丈夫和父亲”，并称他们在2024年被捕前多年一直过着“与审判中所描绘的截然不同的生活”。他们自被捕以来一直被关押。
Defense lawyers described the brothers as “dedicated husbands and fathers” and said they had all lived “lives very different than what was portrayed at trial” for years prior to their 2024 arrests. They have been jailed ever since.
辩护方提交的文件表达了对兄弟上诉成功的信心，称关键点上的证据“惊人地薄弱”，并且由于瓦莱丽·E·卡普罗尼法官关于陪审团所见证据的裁决，这些男子面临“压倒性的偏见”。“我们正在与不公正作斗争，”他们写道。
The defense submission projected confidence that the brothers will do well on appeal, saying the evidence was “remarkably weak” on critical points and that the men faced “overwhelming prejudice” as a result of Judge Valerie E. Caproni’s decisions about what evidence the jury saw. “We fight against injustice,” they wrote.
律师们还敦促卡普罗尼法官将兄弟视为“人类，而非在法庭和媒体中被错误描绘的怪物”。
The lawyers also urged Caproni to see the brothers as “human beings, not the monsters falsely portrayed in Court and in the media.”
