T
wo high-end real estate agents, Tal and Oren Alexander, and their brother Alon, a private security executive, have been arrested and charged with sex trafficking crimes. Prosecutors claim the brothers used their wealth and influence to lure dozens of women into isolated locations where they were gang raped.
The alleged sex trafficking operation spanned from 2010 to 2021, with victims being enticed through travel, luxury accommodations, and other lures. Some women were targeted under the guise of starting a relationship, while others were chosen at random or participated in trips organized by the brothers. The indictment alleges that the men used cocaine, mushrooms, and GHB to impair their victims.
Text messages between the brothers reveal discussions about collecting money for flights, providing drugs, and protecting their reputations if any women complained. The charges come after the brothers faced rape allegations earlier this year.
Tal and Oren Alexander were once top real estate agents at Douglas Elliman, representing high-profile clients like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. However, they branched out on their own several years ago and have been accused of exaggerating their role in some deals.
Alon Alexander works as an executive at the family's private security firm, Kent Security, where his mother is CFO. The brothers' social media accounts showed them living a luxurious lifestyle, attending high-profile events, and traveling to exclusive destinations.
The allegations against the Alexander brothers have sparked widespread attention in the luxury real estate world. Their clients and colleagues have been left stunned by the news, with some speaking out about their experiences working with the brothers.
