Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three brothers renowned as luxury real estate moguls in Miami and New York City, are facing grave accusations of rape and sexual assault from over 60 alleged victims, including a minor. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, with incidents allegedly dating back to 2009. Their legal team contends that the claims are fabricated and financially motivated, while prosecutors and victims' attorneys argue that the delay in reporting is due to fear, shame, and the brothers' societal status.

Attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, representing the Alexander brothers, assert that there is “zero physical evidence” to support the accusations, as no accusers reportedly went to hospitals for rape kits. O'Donnell highlights what he perceives as a suspicious pattern: “It is no coincidence that for 10, 15 years, not one person had ever accused these brothers of ever doing anything inappropriate, and all of a sudden, at one time, in the same exact window frame, every single person that you’ve heard of that has accused the Alexander brothers of assaulting them came through a personal injury lawsuit trying to sue them for money.” He also pointed to an email from December 2024 where an alleged victim inquired with a prosecutor about recommendations for personal injury lawyers involved in the Alexander brothers’ case, seeking to sue. The District Attorney’s office clarified that their response to this inquiry was a direct answer to a question, not a referral.

Conversely, federal prosecutors allege that Oren (39), Alon (38), and Tal (38) “worked together and with others known and unknown to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of victims” between 2009 and 2021, often by promising luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has spoken with several alleged victims, noted the “eerily similar” nature of their stories, frequently involving women being drugged or incapacitated to a state where they could not consent. She also explained that many victims kept their experiences secret for years due to shame, fear of not being believed, or the brothers' perceived power and connections. The surge in women coming forward, Chacin suggests, was a “domino effect,” with initial lawsuits empowering others to share their stories.

Individual accounts further illustrate these complexities. Lindsey Acree initially sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid being publicly associated with her alleged assault, while Carissa Peebles, an attorney for another woman, stated her client feared coming forward due to the brothers’
