Alexander brothers charged with federal sex trafficking and sexual battery in decade-long scheme

Oren, Tal, and Alon Alexander face federal charges for allegedly using wealth and influence in sex trafficking.

Oren, Tal, and Alon Alexander, prominent members of a wealthy Florida family, have been charged with federal sex-trafficking crimes. Prosecutors in New York allege that the brothers used their wealth and influence to drug, sexually assault, and rape women in a scheme spanning over a decade. Additionally, Oren and Alon, who are twins, face separate sexual battery charges in Florida.

The charges present a stark contrast to the Alexanders’ high-profile careers and social standing. Oren and Tal are well-known luxury real estate agents who began their careers at Douglas Elliman, forming "The Alexander Team" in 2012. They handled multimillion-dollar deals, including a $47 million Miami mansion sale and a $238 million Manhattan penthouse purchase by billionaire Ken Griffin. In 2022, the brothers launched their own real estate firm, Official, further cementing their influence in the industry. Their lavish lifestyles, highlighted on social media and events like New York Fashion Week, have garnered widespread attention. Oren’s 2023 wedding was even featured in Vogue.

Allegations against the brothers first surfaced publicly in June, when two women filed civil lawsuits accusing Oren and Alon of rape. Following the lawsuits, the FBI launched an investigation, uncovering additional accusations of sexual misconduct. By September, over a dozen women had come forward with allegations of rape or assault against the brothers.

Lawyers for the brothers have denied the allegations. Isabelle Kirshner, representing Alon, stated he would plead not guilty. Tal and Oren’s legal teams have not commented further.

The charges mark a significant turning point for the Alexanders, who face mounting legal challenges that could profoundly impact their careers and reputations. The outcomes of these cases will be determined in court, as the brothers continue to deny all allegations.
