lexander brothers face additional sex trafficking charges in New York

    Luxury real estate brokers Oren and Tal Alexander, along with their brother Alon, were arraigned in federal court on new sex trafficking charges. The superseding indictment adds five new counts related to four alleged victims, including a minor who was allegedly abused before reaching adulthood.

    Prosecutors claim the brothers used their wealth and influence to facilitate rape and sexual abuse of women from 2002 to 2021. Over 60 people have come forward alleging they were raped by at least one of the brothers.

    The new charges are part of an ongoing investigation, with no date set for a hearing. The Alexander brothers had previously pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail. Their attorney calls the new charges "factual and legally unfounded" and an example of prosecutorial overreach.

    A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment beyond court filings, urging anyone with information to contact the FBI. The Alexander brothers also face state felony charges in Florida, along with their cousin Ohad Fisherman.
