Overview
- In week two of the Manhattan federal trial, all three brothers have now heard direct accusations in court after a fourth woman testified about a 2016 incident involving Oren Alexander at a Sag Harbor rental.
- Testifying under the pseudonym Bella Koval, the Ukrainian model said a drink from Oren left her conscious but unable to move before he raped her, while the defense questioned her account and highlighted photos from the night.
- Jurors also viewed a videotape prosecutors call a “trophy tape,” which they say shows Oren with a barely conscious 17-year-old in 2009; the defense argues the recording does not prove trafficking.
- Earlier witnesses described a 2012 assault by Alon Alexander after a party with Zac Efron and a 2016 shower assault by Tal Alexander, while defense attorneys cite photos and messages to argue consensual encounters.
- Separately, the New York Times reported a woman’s claim that Tal Alexander assaulted her when she was 13 in Miami-Dade more than 20 years ago, a claim his attorney calls categorically false and not part of the current case.
