F
ederal authorities have charged Oren, Tal, and Alon Alexander with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. The indictment alleges that the brothers operated a long-running scheme in New York and Miami, luring women into vacation destinations through travel offers within the US and internationally. Multiple men participated in the scheme, which included gang rapes starting as early as high school.
The U.S. Attorney's Office claims the brothers used deception, fraud, and coercion to get victims to travel and meet them at private locations. Oren and Tal allegedly used their real estate industry connections to persuade women to attend events, where they would later be sexually assaulted. The indictment states that the brothers "used their wealth and positions to create opportunities to rape and assault women."
The charges carry potential prison sentences of 15 years to life. Prosecutors recommended denying bail due to the brothers' danger to the community and risk of flight. The FBI raided the Alexanders' homes, including Oren and Alon's Miami Beach estates.
Allegations against one or more of the brothers were first reported this summer by TRD. An arrest warrant has been issued for luxury broker Ohad Fisherman, who was associated with Oren and Tal's brokerage. Prior to the allegations, Oren and Tal were prominent real estate agents in Miami and New York.
Prosecutors claim Alon compiled files on women who made public accusations against the brothers, aiming to discredit them. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated that authorities believe the Alexanders "were not acting alone" and will continue investigating to uncover the full scope of their conduct.
