gvg777 New York Judge Deems Alexander Brothers Flight Risk, Denies Bail

Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander were denied bail in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday, after a judge ruled that the three brothers posed both a danger to the community and might flee the country as they awaited trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.

“The weight of the evidence is strong,” said Judge Valerie E. Caproni of Federal District Court after a three-hour hearing in which the brothers’ lawyers sought to undermine the government’s argument for detention, suggesting that the dozens of women who have accused them of assault were concocting stories for profit.

The three brothers, through their lawyers, have strenuously denied the charges. Oren and Tal Alexander were, for decades, two of the country’s most prominent real estate agents, brokering some of the flashiest properties in Miami and New York. Alon Alexander, who is Oren’s twin, was a regular fixture on the social circuit in both cities alongside his brothers.

The judge acknowledged that there was a possibility of some false accusations, but cited the government’s assertion that more than 40 women had made similar allegations. “And there is a consistency in the detail about how they are lured into areas under the defendants’ control, then drugged and assaulted,og777 app” she said.

Oren and Alon Alexander, twins who are 37, were arrested in Miami Beach in December along with their older brother, Tal Alexander, 38, after months of mounting public allegations. All three are accused of using their wealth and status to lure, drug and sexually assault dozens of women, according to an indictment made public on the day of their arrest.

At the hearing on Wednesday, a prosecutor revealed that several of the alleged victims were minors at the time of the assaults and rapes; the brothers were all adults.

Robinson’s history of comments that have been widely criticized as antisemitic and anti-gay made him a deeply polarizing figure in North Carolina long before his bid for governor was upended last week by a CNN report that he had called himself a “Black NAZI” and praised slavery while posting on a pornographic website between 2008 and 2012. Nowgvg777, some of his allies are abandoning him. Most of his senior campaign staff members have resigned. The Republican Governors Association said that its pro-Robinson ads would expire tomorrow and that no new ones had been placed. And former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Robinson in the spring, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids,” did not mention him once during his rally in the state over the weekend.
