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.

Alexander Brothers Claim Sex-Trafficking Probe Sparked by Rival
Former star real estate brokers Tal and Oren Alexander asked a federal judge to dismiss some or all of the charges against them in a criminal sex-trafficking case, claiming the probe was kicked off by an industry rival. The two Florida brothers, in separate court filings, claimed prosecutors had brought a flawed legal case. In December, the Alexanders were accused in an indictment of taking part in a decades-long pattern of rape and sexual assault. A third brother charged in the case, Alon Alexander, has yet to file a motion to dismiss, but lawyers for Tal and Oren said he supports their motions.

Alexander brothers face new charges, including sex trafficking of a minor
A high-profile case against prominent real estate moguls took a new turn this week as federal prosecutors filed new charges against Oren and Tal Alexander, as well as their brother Alon, on May 8. Filed as part of a superseding indictment, which overrides the first indictment, the charges against the Alexander brothers include additional counts of alleged sex trafficking -- one of which involves a minor. Brothers Oren and Tal Alexander gained notoriety in New York's luxury real estate market through their company, Alexander Group, and have been under federal investigation alongside Oren's twin, Alon, since late 2024. They have been accused of luring women to nightclubs and parties, then drugging and sexually assaulting them. All three previously pleaded not guilty to the first set of sex trafficking charges. They face 15 years to life in prison if convicted of the federal charges. MORE: Alexander brothers plead not guilty, prosecutors say they raped more than 60 women In addition to new charges, the superseding indictment included more alleged victims. Six alleged victims now form the basis for the criminal charges. An individual identified as Minor Victim-3 was trafficked, even though Alon and Tal Alexander would have had a "reasonable opportunity" to observe she was not yet 18, the new indictment alleged. "The superseding indictment changes nothing," the attorneys for Tal Alexander, Milton Williams and Deanna Paul told ABC News last week, calling it "a reheated version of the same case." Richard Klugh, an attorney for Oren Alexander, shared similar sentiments, saying that the new charges are misguided and lack merit. "We will fight any new spin offered in these charges and establish our client's innocence as he has shown his willingness to do in passing a rigorous polygraph examination," Klugh said. Alon Alexander's attorney, Howard Srebnick, also referred to his client's willingness to take a polygraph, stating, "Alon passed a lie detector test, administered by a former, senior FBI polygraph examiner, establishing his innocence to the accusations in the earlier version of the indictment." "To our knowledge, not a single alleged accuser, including those in the new version of the indictment, has passed an FBI lie detector test," he continued. Federal prosecutors did not respond to the defense lawyer's assertion of a misguided prosecution, except to call it an ongoing investigation. MORE: Alexander brothers held without bail after first court appearance in sex crimes case The case has sent shockwaves through New York's real estate community, where the Alexander Group was known for brokering multimillion-dollar deals for celebrity clients. An arraignment on the new charges was not immediately set. The brothers are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting trial, which is currently scheduled for January.
