Twins Oren and Alon Alexander are facing sex trafficking charges similar to those against Jeffrey Epstein. They are requesting the dismissal of one of three cases, arguing the state has not provided key evidence. Their defense contends that the alleged victims did not engage in sexual acts in exchange for the travel and accommodations promised. The motion cites prior federal court decisions emphasizing that there must be a concrete connection between compensation and sexual acts to meet the definition of commercial sex trafficking.
"The alleged victims did not provide sex 'on account of' those promises, as the statute requires… travel and accommodations did not represent compensation for the sex acts."
"The case of the Alexanders raises significant questions about the application of sex trafficking laws, particularly regarding the definition of 'commercial sex acts'."}],
"The defense argues that while the brothers lured women with promises of coverage for expenses, there was no actual payment for sexual acts as per legal definitions."
"Legal precedents suggest that to constitute trafficking, there must be a clear link between compensation and the sex acts, which the indictment allegedly fails to establish."
