Alexander Bros’ Sex Trafficking Trial: the Biggest Revelations so Far

This week, a government witness described using her eyeliner to write “Rapists” on the front door of the brothers’ Southampton rental. “You need to apologize,” she also wrote.

It was Saturday night on Memorial Day weekend in 2009, and she was fleeing the house after witnessing a group of men, including Tal Alexander and “one of the twins,” sexually assaulting a screaming woman in the backyard hot tub, she told the jury.

“She was over and over and over asking them to stop,” testified the witness, Avishan Bodjnoud, now an information management executive at the United Nations.

Prosecutors showed jurors photographs of the graffiti recovered from a hard drive seized from Tal Alexander.

A second witness to the hot tub incident, herself an assault accuser, described seeing “a girl, I believe, in a green bikini with a bunch of guys on top of her.”

She also described seeing a distraught female onlooker cry out, “I work for the UN, and I know what you’re doing out there!”

During cross-examination, a defense lawyer for Tal Alexander challenged the UN employee’s testimony that she remained silent out of fear for the brothers’ power and influence.

“Were you aware that in 2009, Tal Alexander was a 21-year-old copy machine salesman?” asked the lawyer, Milton Williams.
