Witness recounts alleged assault tied to Alexander brothers’ sex-trafficking trial

The first witness in the federal sex-trafficking trial of brothers Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander testified in Manhattan that after attending a party at actor Zac Efron’s apartment she was drugged and repeatedly raped by Alon, with Tal present but not intervening. Prosecutors say the brothers exploited wealth and fame to lure victims, while defense argues the conduct was dating and not criminal. The case is expected to include additional accusers as it continues.
