Alexander bros’ trial: The most striking revelations from day 1 of the criminal case

An accuser using the pseudonym "Katie Moore," who was the first government witness to testify, broke down in tears as she told the jury she was drugged and raped by Alon Alexander in 2012 when she was 20 years old.

Moore said that she woke up naked with Alon Alexander standing over her, also naked, at the Manhattan apartment he shared with Tal Alexander, in the hours after an NBA Finals viewing party at the nearby penthouse of actor Zac Efron.

"I was shocked, and I had no idea how I got there," Moore testified, adding that she tried two or three times to get out of the bed, but "Alon kept pushing me back down."

"I don't want to have sex with you!" she recalled telling Alon Alexander, who she said laughed and told her, "But you already did."

He continued to assault her as she desperately screamed out "no" over and over, Moore said.

At some point, Moore testified, Tal Alexander walked in, and as the two brothers were talking, Alon Alexander "was raping" her.

She said she left while Alon Alexander was asleep. Within hours, she discovered she was bruised on the right side of her body, including "a hand print."

During opening statements, Assistant US Attorney Madison Reddick Smyser told the jury that the Alexander brothers "celebrated their crimes."

"For example," the prosecutor said, "after Oren and Alon sexually assaulted three high school girls in a hotel room, Oren texted a friend that he took down a 17-year-old."

Smyser said the Alexander brothers used "power, wealth, and access to lure women and girls to them" at upscale locales like the Hamptons, Miami, and Manhattan.

Smyser, the Manhattan federal prosecutor, told jurors that the Alexander brothers texted each other about their conquests, at one point saying that "the only thing that could bring them down is if some 'hoe' complained."

The prosecutor said the Alexander brothers "used whatever means necessary" — including drugging victims and using "brute force" — to carry out sex attacks.

They "carried out their rapes in different ways," said Smyser. "They physically held victims down" and put drugs like GHB and Xanax in their drinks, getting the women so intoxicated that, in one instance, their victim could not stand up, she said.
