Witness testifies she felt 'powerless and terrified' after alleged assault
One witness, who testified under the pseudonym Katie Moore, testified Tuesday that she was drugged and raped by Alon Alexander following a night out at a New York City club.
Moore said she was handed a drink and felt her “body starting to sway.”
“In that moment, it felt sudden. I know I wasn’t drunk or losing control; there was no gradual fade out. I had never experienced that sort of loss of control of my body before,” she told the court.
“The next thing I remember is coming to instantly, like a switch, and I was laying naked across a bed with Alon standing over me, who was naked as well,” she testified. “In that moment, I had no idea what happened. … I tried to get out of the bed a few times, but Alon kept pushing me back down. … Finally, he sat down on the bed, and I was able to get up, and I said, ‘I don’t want to have sex with you,’ and he said, ‘You already did.’”
At least eight accusers are expected to testify, including a woman who was 16 at the time of her alleged assault.
The brothers face sentences ranging from 15 years to life in prison if convicted. All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
