T
wo luxury real estate brokers and their brother have been charged with luring, drugging, and violently raping dozens of women over more than a decade, according to a federal indictment unsealed in Manhattan. State charges were also filed in Florida against two of the brothers and another man stemming from three alleged sexual assaults.

    Prosecutors allege that Oren and Tal Alexander, known for brokering high-end properties in New York City and Miami, and their sibling Alon used their wealth and influence to exploit women between 2010 and 2021. They would use deception, fraud, and coercion to entice victims to travel or attend parties, often covering expenses and promising romantic relationships.

    The brothers would then drug and rape the women, sometimes with other men involved, before sending them away with gifts and luxuries. "This conduct was heinous," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. The brothers typically met their victims on dating apps, at social events, or in bars, but also used party promoters to find women.

    Prosecutors said the women were often given drugs like cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms, and GHB, and some had their drinks spiked by the brothers, leaving them unable to fight back. In some cases, the defendants physically restrained and held down their victims during the assaults.

    In Florida, state prosecutors described two incidents as a "gang rape" and a sexual assault, both involving Oren Alexander. A third incident involved a woman who said she was assaulted after drinking a spiked glass of wine at his apartment.

    The three brothers were arrested in Florida on Wednesday and will appear in Miami federal court before being brought to New York. Lawyers for the brothers denied the charges, but prosecutors urged any other possible victims to come forward.
