A federal judge in Manhattan sentenced Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander to 30 years in prison each on Tuesday. Prosecutors had asked for life. The brothers asked for the 15-year minimum. The number is set, but the case is not over.
The sentence. U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni imposed the 30-year terms, The Associated Press, via Spectrum News, and CBS News report. ABC News and Fox News carry the same figures. A jury convicted the three of sex trafficking in March.
After prison. Each brother also received 10 years of supervised release, according to Forbes and LAmag. Both outlets report fines of $300,000 each for Oren and Alon and $350,000 for Tal.
The judge. Caproni called the conduct "monstrous," the AP and Forbes report.
The brothers' response. All three denied drugging or raping anyone, according to the AP, Fox News and LAmag. They have maintained their innocence throughout.
Why it matters. A federal sentence is not the end of a sex offense case. Time served, supervision, registration and appeal all come next, and each has its own rules.
