Overview
- Testifying under the pseudonym Maya Miller, a Nevada nurse said Tal Alexander raped her in a Sag Harbor shower in 2014 after a lavish weekend and that she bled and feared his power.
- Jurors were shown an email in which Tal allegedly forwarded her flight details while calling guests “cheap hookers,” and the defense questioned her later polite messages and delayed report; she said she was scared and contacted the FBI after the 2024 arrests.
- Earlier witness “Katie Moore” testified she was drugged and raped by Alon Alexander in 2012 after an NBA Finals viewing at Zac Efron’s penthouse, with Efron mentioned only as social context and not accused of wrongdoing.
- Defense lawyers argue encounters were consensual and have pressed accusers on timelines, photos, and why they did not report sooner, as prosecutors say the brothers leveraged wealth, travel, drugs, and alcohol to facilitate assaults.
- The brothers remain detained without bail in New York as the Manhattan federal trial continues, and each faces potential sentences ranging from 15 years to life if convicted.
