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

TL;DR
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.
