Federal prosecutors in New York are asking a judge to impose life sentences on two former luxury real estate brokers and their brother, who were convicted earlier this year. Prosecutors say the defendants used their influence to drug and sexually abuse women over several years, according to court documents cited by outlets.
Reporting notes that many victims came forward during the case. One outlet says more than 70 women reported being assaulted, and nearly a dozen testified at trial, while other coverage emphasizes that prosecutors describe the abuse as spanning a lengthy period and involving dozens of victims. The defense position is not reflected in the provided excerpts. Sentencing is the next phase, with prosecutors arguing that life imprisonment is warranted.
Outlets largely agree on the core procedural posture—post-conviction sentencing requests—and on the alleged conduct, including drugging and sexual abuse. Coverage differs mainly in how specific numbers of victims are described and in the language used to characterize the scale of the crimes.
