Alexander Brothers Accused of Sex Crimes Against Another Woman
Charges of sex trafficking and abuse against two luxury real estate brokers and their brother have expanded again, and now include seven victims, according to a new superseding indictment filed by Manhattan federal prosecutors on Tuesday.
Oren and Tal Alexander — who reigned over the luxury real estate markets in both Miami and New York, as well as Oren's twin Alon Alexander — were initially indicted in Manhattan in December and accused of sex trafficking two women by force, fraud or coercion. The initial charges were expanded in May to include six victims, including an underage girl.
Now, prosecutors have again widened the scope of charges. Together, the brothers now face nine counts related to sex trafficking and one of sexual assault against seven victims. The newest charge accuses two of the brothers of drugging and then sexually abusing a woman in 2012 while on a Bahamian cruise ship.
The allegations date back to 2009, when all three brothers were in their early 20s.
The three men were arraigned on the new charges in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday shortly after the indictment was unsealed. All three pleaded not guilty.
The Alexanders have denied all the allegations against them since last summer, when The Real Deal, a real estate publication, first reported that two women had filed lawsuits accusing Oren Alexander, 37, and his twin brother, Alon Alexander, of sexual assault. Those allegations soon swelled to also include Tal Alexander, 38, and more than two dozen lawsuits.
In December, the men were arrested in Miami on federal sex-trafficking charges. The case has shaken the high-end real estate industry and led to the downfall of Oren Alexander and Tal Alexander, who had reached the uppermost ranks of one of the nation's largest real estate brokerages.

After Copa America chaos, Hard Rock is strengthening security for Club World Cup
As ticket prices for Saturday's FIFA Club World Cup opener go down and several thousand go unsold, those making plans for the match are hoping it will go smoother than last year's Copa America final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Thousands of fans — including those without tickets — stormed the Hard Rock's gates last year to watch the final match between Argentina and Colombia. Dozens were arrested, 55 others were ejected and the game was delayed by over an hour, the Miami Herald previously reported. For Saturday's game featuring Inter Miami vs. Egyptian team Al Ahly, a Hard Rock spokesperson told the Herald in a statement that 'fans should expect to pass through multiple security and ticket check points in order to enter Hard Rock Stadium.' 'As with all stadium events, Hard Rock Stadium officials work in collaboration with local law enforcement agencies and event organizers to establish and enforce security protocols based on the unique needs of each event,' the statement said. ' … Ensuring fan safety continues to be the highest priority for all stadium events.' The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office told the Herald that a ticket-screening process will take place at each of three checkpoints around the Hard Rock property. The Sheriff's Office has been preparing officers for the event, posting last month that its Rapid Deployment Force was training with the Broward Sheriff's Office Quick Response Force. Both teams can be quickly dispatched to major incidents. 'If things go south, we get prepared, we get ready,' Miami-Dade Sgt. Lazaro Rodriguez said in a training video. 'For civil unrest and unruly fans, this will get us ready for those events.' A previous report analyzing the security failures at the Copa America final found miscommunication and a lack of security led to much of last year's chaos, as reported by ESPN. The day before the final, Miami-Dade police had been informed 'that Texas law enforcement 'experienced difficulties removing crowds from the stadium areas' after a separate Copa América match, and that large crowds were forming in the streets near the Colombia team hotel in Florida,' according to the report obtained by ESPN. The Texas report led officials to deploy more police for the game, and ultimately at least 900 were staffed for the event. Despite having hundreds of officers, Hard Rock Stadium had allowed cars with unticketed fans onto the property, which created a security issue that officers weren't equipped to address, according to the report. In a statement Wednesday, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said: 'The events that unfolded in the 2024 Copa America Final were unprecedented for the entire nation, let alone Miami-Dade County.' Traffic closures for Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium In addition to the ticketing checkpoints, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office is also closing some nearby roads three hours before the parking gates open, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The roads will return to normal traffic patterns when the parking lots open. The affected areas are 199th Street from Northwest 27th Avenue to Northwest 14th Court and also Turnpike Exit 2X.
