Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three brothers renowned as kings in the luxury real estate sectors of Miami and New York City, face grave accusations of rape and sexual assault from at least 60 alleged victims, including a minor. They have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, with the alleged incidents reportedly dating back to 2009. This high-profile case has ignited a fierce debate, with the brothers' defense team asserting the claims are fabricated, while accusers and their representatives cite fear and societal pressures for delayed reporting.

Federal prosecutors have alleged that Oren, 39, Alon, 38, and his twin brother Tal "worked together and with others known and unknown to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of victims" between 2009 and 2021. These accusations include claims that the brothers promised women luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has interviewed several alleged victims, noted the "eerily similar" nature of their stories, often involving women being drugged or consuming excessive alcohol to a state of incapacitation, rendering them unable to give consent.

The Alexander brothers' attorneys, Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, contend that the accusations are orchestrated by the alleged victims’ personal injury lawyers and are primarily financially motivated. O’Donnell highlighted the perplexing timing, stating, "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." Denaro questioned the "mathematical possibilities" of all accusers coming forward simultaneously, emphasizing that none initially approached law enforcement, but rather personal injury lawyers, which subsequently led to law enforcement involvement.

Furthermore, O’Donnell claims a complete lack of physical evidence supporting the allegations. He stated, "There’s zero [physical] evidence from any of the accusers that I’m aware of," noting that alleged victims did not go to hospitals for rape kits. He concluded, "There’s zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred." In one instance, the legal team for Oren and Alon filed a motion to dismiss a New York lawsuit, presenting "flirty messages and nude pictures" the woman allegedly sent to the brothers *after* her reported attack.

The defense also points to an email from December 2024, shared with In Touch, in which an alleged victim requested recommendations from a prosecutor for lawyers in Miami handling the Alexander brothers' case because she "would like to sue." O’Donnell indicated that the prosecutor responded with names and emails of attorneys pursuing civil cases against the brothers, suggesting an undue influence or motivation for financial gain. However, a representative for the District Attorney’s office clarified to In Touch that the email was "a response to a direct question, not a referral."

Conversely, alleged victims and their legal representatives offer compelling reasons for the delayed reporting. Many expressed fear, shame, and the belief that they would not be believed. Lindsey Acree told the Miami Herald that she initially sought to file anonymously to avoid being "known for" her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for an anonymous client, stated her client had "a lot of fear" due to understanding the brothers' "status and wealth in society." This anonymous woman expressed hope that her decision to speak out would encourage others, stating, "No one should have to carry this burden alone, and I hope this serves as a reminder that justice starts with a single step forward."

Ana Claudia Chacin observed that a "domino effect" occurred, where initial public accusations empowered other women to share their stories, often kept "in little boxes" for years due to shame and fear. She recounted an alleged victim who tried to report her assault to the police but was "dismissed because they told her that she had willingly consumed marijuana that she thinks was laced, and so she didn’t have a case," and was subsequently denied a rape kit at the hospital.

One specific account comes from Maria Suska, who, despite being outside the current legal proceedings due to Florida’s statute of limitations, chose to speak out. Suska recounted an alleged assault by Oren in 2014 at a party at the Versace mansion. After being invited by Oren via Facebook, she found herself among ten other girls and promoters, contrary to her expectation of a romantic dinner. She alleges Oren attacked her after they went upstairs to see a watchtower. Suska admits she didn't file a police report at the time, blaming herself and fearing that no one would believe her, given Oren's power and connections. It was only after seeing other women come forward on the news that she felt empowered, realizing, "All this time, I thought it was only me," and finally filed a police report last December.

Attorneys for the alleged victims have strongly refuted the defense's characterization of their clients as opportunistic. Todd Poses, Suska's attorney, stated, "It is both predictable and pathetic that counsel for the Alexanders is name-calling the victims as opportunistic for seeking civil remedies after being [allegedly] trafficked and raped. Absent a time machine where the victims could change their fate and erase the horrors they suffered, the alternative remains holding the Alexanders financially accountable for the lives they have ruined."

Currently, Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander are being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting their trial scheduled for January 2026. Despite the challenges, their legal team remains resolute. Denaro stated, "What choice do they have other than to stand and fight these accusations, which are eight, sometimes 12 years old with no physical evidence?" O’Donnell echoed this sentiment, asserting, "Oren’s a very strong person...He knows that he didn’t do anything wrong...they have no choice but to sit and fight, and they will."
