Alexander Brothers Accused of Sex Crimes Against Another Woman
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.

Two arrested in armed robberies targeting clubgoers in Miami and Miami Beach, police say
Two suspects are in custody after allegedly following nightclub patrons wearing expensive watches back to their homes and robbing them at gunpoint in Miami and Miami Beach, according to police. Investigators said 30-year-old Dwight Gustave and 41-year-old Adria Banks watched victims outside clubs such as Space in Miami before carrying out the robberies. Police said Banks acted as the getaway driver while Gustave, often wearing a mask or hoodie, confronted the victims with a firearm. According to police, a search of Gustave's home turned up a Rolex watch worth about $20,000, an Audemars Piguet watch valued at roughly $140,000, and more than $16,000 in cash. In total, police said they recovered more than $176,000 in stolen goods. Miami Beach police said Gustave was arrested in 2020 and served five years in prison for robbery-related crimes. They also said Banks is currently on probation for stealing more than $500,000 worth of high-end jewelry. According to police, Gustave is being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and faces multiple counts of armed robbery, with bond still to be set. Banks was arrested in Broward County and faces several charges, including burglary, grand theft, and violating probation. Police said they believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone who was targeted to come forward.

Ex-Miami Heat security guard pleads guilty to selling stolen memorabilia valued in the millions, DOJ says
A former Miami Heat security guard pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to transporting and transferring stolen goods in interstate commerce, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The Justice Department said Marcos Thomas Perez, 62, admitted to stealing hundreds of game-worn jerseys and other memorabilia belonging to the Miami Heat and selling them to online brokers. Prosecutors said the items, valued in the millions, included rare jerseys. Perez, a 25-year retired veteran of the City of Miami Police Department, worked as a Heat security officer from 2016 to 2021 and later as an NBA security employee from 2022 to 2025, according to the DOJ. While working game-day security at the Kaseya Center, Perez had access to a secured equipment room where the items were stored for a future team museum. Prosecutors said Perez stole more than 400 jerseys and other memorabilia from the secured room and sold over 100 items through online marketplaces across state lines for about $1.9 million. The DOJ said he often sold the pieces below their market value—including a LeBron James NBA Finals jersey he sold for about $100,000, which was later auctioned at Sotheby's for $3.7 million. According to the Justice Department, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Perez's residence on April 3 and recovered nearly 300 additional stolen jerseys and memorabilia, which the Miami Heat confirmed had been taken from their facility.
