Manhattan jury weighs life in sex-trafficking case against elite real estate brokers

A Manhattan federal jury began deliberations in the sex-trafficking case against real estate brokers Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander, accused by prosecutors of drugging and coercing women; the defense portrays their behavior as a controversial dating lifestyle, while 11 women testified about assaults. A separate civil suit by Tracy Tutor alleges drugging and assault, and prosecutors point to a blog as part of the alleged scheme. A conviction could carry life in prison.

Former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll are in the same room for the first time in decades as jury selection begins for the second defamation trial. Carroll is seeking more than $10 million in damages for Trump's 2019 defamatory statements about her sexual assault allegations. The trial will also consider Trump's comments at a CNN town hall following the 2023 verdict when deciding damages. Trump is appealing the previous verdict, where a jury found he sexually assaulted Carroll and defamed her, and was ordered to pay $5 million in damages.

Judge Demands Answer: Will Trump Attend Rape Trial?

A federal judge has ordered parties in the E. Jean Carroll rape case to notify him by April 20 whether they will be present throughout the trial, scheduled to start April 25 in Manhattan federal court. The judge also rejected a request that names of anonymous jurors be released to lawyers, saying Trump’s latest public statements about a criminal case against him in state court show jurors might be harassed if their identities got out. Trump's lawyers did not respond to requests for comment on Kaplan’s order.
