Prominent Real Estate Brothers Arrested on Federal Sex Trafficking Charges

Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander, well-known real estate moguls, have been arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, New York prosecutors announced Wednesday.

According to an indictment unsealed in New York, the Alexander brothers conspired over a decade-long period to “repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of women.” They were arrested in Miami earlier in the day.

The indictment alleges the brothers lured victims with promises of luxury experiences, travel, and accommodations, only to subject them to “forcible rape or sexual assault, sometimes by multiple men, including one or more of the Alexander brothers.”

Prosecutors described the alleged scheme, which began in 2010, as relying on “deception, fraud, and coercion” to target women. The brothers allegedly flaunted their wealth to attract victims to parties, events, and trips where assaults occurred.

The indictment details how the Alexanders meticulously planned their crimes. Trips were organized in advance, and women were allegedly selected based on their appearance. Photographs were reportedly shared among the brothers to ensure the women were “sufficiently attractive.”

Using dating apps, social media, or party planners as intermediaries, the brothers made contact with victims. They also allegedly procured drugs, including GHB and cocaine, sometimes spiking drinks before assaults occurred. The indictment claims the brothers held down victims, ignoring their screams and explicit pleas to stop.

The indictment includes charges of conspiracy and forcible sex trafficking, citing two victims identified as “Victim 1” and “Victim 2.”

Later on Wednesday, a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by the Alexanders in 2016 filed a lawsuit in New York under the city’s Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. Her attorneys, John Morgan and Carissa Peebles, stated the suit would outline her case in greater detail.

The arrest of the Alexander brothers marks a significant development in what prosecutors are calling a “long-running and highly orchestrated sex trafficking scheme.” As the legal proceedings unfold, more details are expected to emerge, potentially shedding light on the extent of the alleged crimes.
