Alexander brothers found guilty on all counts in sex trafficking trial

(snip)

In his closing statement, federal prosecutor Andrew Jones said there is "crushing evidence" that the brothers "masqueraded as party boys when really they were predators" who committed an "array of federal sex offenses."

Jones recounted the graphic accounts of the alleged victims and said the wealthy brothers had a "playbook" luring women with exclusive parties, yachts and luxury travel so they could assault them.

"Once they had their victims where they wanted them, the defendants assaulted them using force, using drugs, or using both," Jones said.

Then, the brothers allegedly bragged about their exploits in blog posts with titles like "It's not rape if... you use her tears as lube” and "It's not rape if... she secretly wants it.”
