Two affluent real estate agent siblings have been accused of incapacitating and brutally assaulting numerous women.
Oren and Tal Alexander, along with their brother Alon, face allegations from federal prosecutors in New York regarding sex trafficking and exploiting their status to manipulate women from at least 2010 to 2021. Additional charges have also been filed in Florida, where they reside.
The brothers, Oren, 37, and Tal, 38, have gained notoriety for facilitating transactions involving high-end properties in New York City and Miami, dealing with estates owned by prominent figures such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The indictment claims they employed “deception, fraud, and coercion” to lure women into traveling with them or attending gatherings and events – sometimes under the guise of a romantic engagement.
It is alleged that the women were subsequently drugged and assaulted by one or more of the siblings, alongside other men, before being dismissed with lavish gifts such as concert tickets.
Damian Williams, a prosecutor from New York, stated that the brothers encountered their victims through dating applications, social gatherings, clubs, and via party promoters who “sourced” individuals.

The victims were reportedly frequently administered drugs like cocaine and GHB, or had their beverages covertly tainted.
“In certain cases, the defendants physically restrained and subdued their victims during the assaults and disregarded cries and explicit pleas to halt,” the indictment asserts.
Prosecutors described a 2016 “gang rape” incident in Florida, where a woman reported being lured to a “barbecue” at Alon Alexander’s Miami Beach residence, only to find herself alone.
She recounted that another associate, Ohad Fisherman – who is still unaccounted for – restrained her while the brothers contested over who would assault her first as she begged to be released.
Prosecutors have encouraged other potential victims to step forward.
The three Alexander siblings were detained in Florida on Wednesday and are set to appear in a federal court in Miami before being transported to New York.

Attorney Susan Necheles asserted that Oren Alexander is innocent and “evidence will demonstrate that neither he nor his siblings have ever engaged in a crime”.
“My client will be pleading not guilty and will address these allegations in the rightful venue… the courtroom,” stated Isabelle Kirshner, who represents Alon Alexander.
Joel Denaro, representing Tal Alexander, chose not to comment.
Oren and Tal previously worked under real estate magnate Douglas Elliman before establishing their own firm, Official, in 2022.
Alon, Oren’s twin, pursued legal education and joined the family-operated private security venture.
