Real estate brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and their brother Alon, listen as their lawyers argue for a lesser sentence on their behalf in New York

Three brothers - two of them wealthy real-estate moguls - were sentenced to 30 years each in prison for drugging and raping dozens of women over decades.

Tal Alexander, 40, and twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, were found guilty in March of using their wealth and social status to lure women to parties and luxury homes, where they sexually assaulted them.

During the women's speeches, the three Alexander brothers showed little emotion. They stared ahead or conferred with their lawyers, who said they advised their clients not to look at the victims so it couldn't be misconstrued.
