三兄弟——其中两人是富有的房地产大亨——因在数十年间给数十名女性下药并实施强奸，各被判处30年监禁。
Three brothers - two of them wealthy real-estate moguls - were sentenced to 30 years each in prison for drugging and raping dozens of women over the course of decades.
现年40岁的Tal Alexander和现年39岁的双胞胎兄弟Oren与Alon Alexander，于3月被判定利用财富和社会地位将女性诱骗至派对和豪宅，对她们实施性侵犯。
Tal Alexander, 40, and twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, were found guilty in March of using their wealth and social status to lure women to parties and luxury homes, where they sexually assaulted them.
周二上午，纽约法庭听取了12名受害者的陈述，其中一人未在审判期间作证，她们讲述了遭Alexander兄弟强奸后承受的心理创伤，以及希望原本由自己承受的羞耻感转嫁给被告。许多人请求法官对每位兄弟判处最高刑罚——终身监禁。
On Tuesday morning, the court in New York heard from 12 victims, including one who did not testify during the trial, about the psychological trauma they endured after the Alexander brothers raped them and their desire for the shame they had felt to instead fall on the defendants. Many asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence of life in prison for each brother.
Maya Miller告诉法庭，2014年遭Tal Alexander强奸后，她彻底失去了安全感。
Maya Miller told the court that after Tal Alexander raped her in 2014, she lost all sense of safety.
她说：“我内心深处为本可能成为的那个自己举行了一场无声的葬礼，只因这件事从未发生过。”
"I carry a quiet funeral within me for the person I might've become if this never happened to me," she said.
另一名化名Isa Brooks的受害者表示，16岁时遭Tal和Alon Alexander强奸后，她失去了信任自己的能力。她说：“直到为时已晚，我才意识到自己身处何等险境。”
Another victim, who went by the pseudoym Isa Brooks, said after being raped by Tal and Alon Alexander when she was 16 years old, she lost the ability to trust herself. "I had no idea the danger I was in til it was too late," she said.
另一名女性称，当她打算站出来指控强奸时，Tal Alexander威胁说他知道她妹妹的工作地点。
Another woman said that when she planned to come forward about being raped, Tal Alexander threatened that he knew where her sister worked.
在女性们的陈述过程中，三名Alexander兄弟神情淡然。他们直视前方或与律师低声交谈，律师称曾建议当事人不要看受害者发言，以免被误解为盯着她们看。
During the women's speeches, the three Alexander brothers showed little emotion. They stared ahead or conferred with their lawyers, who said they had advised their clients not to look at the victims while they spoke so it wasn't misconstrued as staring.
检察官Elizabeth Espinosa表示，兄弟三人因其罪行理应受到最高刑罚，称本案事实“描绘出一幅真正毁灭性的画面”。
Prosecutor Elizabeth Espinosa said the brothers deserved the maximum punishment for their crimes, saying the facts of the case "paint a truly devastating picture".
“多年来，他们精心打磨了以奢华承诺引诱女性的方法，”她说，并补充称他们“对身后所留下的苦难之路毫不关心”。在为期五周的审判中，11名女性——包括几名在袭击发生时自称未成年人的女性——出庭作证，称兄弟二人送她们礼物，并带她们飞赴包括阿斯彭和巴哈马在内的地点，在强奸她们之前先喂她们吸毒。
"For years, they honed their methods of luring women with the promise of luxury," she said, adding that they were "completely unmoved by the path of suffering they left behind them." During the five-week trial, 11 women - including several who said they were minors at the time of the assaults - testified that the brothers gave them gifts and flew them to locations including Aspen and the Bahamas where they fed them drugs before raping them.
检察官表示，兄弟三人施暴的行为模式始于高中阶段，尽管审判覆盖的犯罪行为始于2008年。
Prosecutors said the brothers' pattern of abusive behaviour began in high school, though the trial covered their crimes starting in 2008.
他们指控三人往女性的饮料中掺入毒品，并称他们在强奸和性侵害过程中“对受害者进行身体捆绑和压制，无视受害者的尖叫声和明确要求停止”。
They had accused the three of slipping drugs in women's drinks, and said they "physically restrained and held down their victims during the rapes and sexual assaults and ignored screams and explicit requests to stop".
兄弟双方的律师曾辩称性行为系双方自愿，他们只是“情场浪子”，而非性虐待者。他们为兄弟三人争取最低量刑，即15年。
Lawyers for the brothers had argued the sex was consensual and that they were womanizers, but not sexual abusers. They pushedd for the lowest possible sentence for the brothers, 15 years.
两名兄弟Tal和Oren通过在纽约和迈阿密出售豪华房产获利。
Two of the brothers, Tal and Oren, made their wealth from selling luxury properties in New York and Miami.
他们受雇于美国大型房地产公司Douglas Elliman，为包括Lindsay Lohan、Kim Kardashian和Kanye West在内的名人出售房产。2022年，他们创立了自己的纽约公司Official。Alon则在家族私人安保公司Kent Security工作。
They worked for American real estate giant Douglas Elliman, selling properties for celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. In 2022, they founded their own New York-based firm called Official. Alon worked at the family's private security firm, Kent Security.
