Now they await criminal trial in a Brooklyn jail, facing multiple accusations of rape and assault from women across the country.

THE FAMILY BUSINESS

JANE LEFT HER two sisters and a friend napping at their hotel, resting up for the New Year's Eve festivities. It was late afternoon by the time the Uber dropped her alone at the Miami Beach apartment building, with its lobby of marble and dark wood and an elegant pool backing out onto the sand. Alon, the tall, handsome, successful man she'd been excited to see a third time, had texted her a picture of a barbecue in full swing. He came down to meet her, greeting her with a hug, and up they went.

The elevator opened into an airy apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, where two other men stood beside a kitchen island. One of them, Oren, was Alon's identical twin. Alon introduced her to the other, Ohad, as their "cousin." But Jane was immediately confused-there was no sign of any other guests, no barbecue apparent at all. Nonetheless the group made small talk for several minutes before Alon beckoned her to follow him to another room.

She had matched with him over the summer on Bumble, while she was living in New York; they had a mutual acquaintance from her college days in Orlando. They'd first met for drinks at his sprawling SoHo loft-and they had sex, consensually-and again just after a Carrie Underwood concert.

They'd reconnected after realizing they were both in Miami Beach for the holiday. Jane hoped the invitation that afternoon indicated Alon might consider her more than just a casual hookup. But as she followed him through the doorway to a bedroom, shooing away a maid, Jane suddenly understood she was not being given a tour of the apartment. And then Ohad and Oren walked in, single file.
